Habitat III: Towards a New Urban Agenda for Cities
How can we raise the profile of technology, innovation and integrated urban solutions in the new urban agenda?

Habitat III is the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development to take place in Quito, Ecuador, from 17-20 October 2016. Join us for a discussion on how cities are becoming key players in supporting and effectively implementing the New Urban Agenda. We will be bringing together UK stakeholders in the urban environment to meet, share ideas and implement best practices on the key issues of Habitat III. There will be also consideration on how to incorporate innovation and integrate urban system to the Agenda.

Habitat III Urban Breakfasts are open to all Member States and relevant stakeholders, including parliamentarians, civil society organisations, regional and local government and municipality representatives, professionals and researchers, academia, foundations, women and youth groups, trade unions, and the private sector, as well as organisations of the United Nations system and intergovernmental organisations.
