The Medium Term Strategic and Institutional Plan (MTSIP): “Supplementary Report” |
|
Towns and cities are growing rapidly, faster than ever before in human history. In 1950, one-third of the world’s people lived in cities. Today, half of the world’s population lives in cities and towns. It is expected that this share will continue to rise to two-thirds, or 6 billion people by 2050. The scale and pace of this growth is creating unprecedented social, political, cultural and environmental challenges that must be addressed by the global community.

World Urban Forum III UN-HABITAT Participant Evaluation Report |
|
This report presents an evaluation of the Third Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF III)
that took place in Vancouver, Canada, from 19-23 June 2006. It was attended by 10,121
participants from 109 countries. The report has been prepared by UN-HABITAT, which was
mandated by UN General Assembly (GA resolution 56/206), to organize the World Urban
Forum with a view to strengthen the coordination of international support to the
implementation of the Habitat Agenda. The report is the result of analysis of answers to
the participant survey questionnaire. It is hoped that the assessment findings, lessons
learned and recommendations will feed into programming and design; and improve the
fourth session of the World Urban Forum to be held in Nanjing, China, in 2008.
