I am very excited to be back in Uganda. Last year I was here in April when I had the privilege to address the commonwealth meeting on Africa’s urbanization crisis.

Let me thank the Government of Jamaica and the Secretariat of MINURVI for giving me the opportunity to address you on this august occasion. I am delighted to be in this beautiful island nation, the birthplace of two great men who have left their mark in the history of liberation. I refer here to one of the pioneers of the Black Africanist movement, and to one of the greatest artist of our time who deeply influenced the cultural and music scene of Africa and the world with his songs of liberation. I am speaking about Marcus Garvey and Bob Marley.
Statement of the Executive Director, UN-HABITAT On the occasion of World Habitat Day 2009  

We have chosen the theme, Planning our Urban Future, for World Habitat Day 2009 for a simple but very important reason: In many parts of our world urban planning systems have changed very little. Indeed, they are often contributors to urban problems rather than tools for human and environmental improvement.

The Executive Director's message on the occasion of World Habitat Day  
Nairobi, Kenya
Every year on the first Monday in October we use World Habitat Day to reflect on the state of the world’s growing cities and our planet’s rapid and irreversible urbanisation. We worry not only whether we can manage this growth, but how we can do it positively in a way that makes cities inclusive, welcoming places for all.
