Rethinking how cities are planned, managed and inhabited.
In October 2016, the HABITAT III Conference , held in Quito, adopted a new framework, which will set the world on a course towards sustainable urban development by rethinking how cities are planned, managed and inhabited. The New Urban Agenda will set the pace on how to deal with the challenges of urbanization in the next two decades, and is seen as an extension of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development , agreed on by the 193 Member States of the UN in September 2015.
