UN-Habitat
2024
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) addresses the issues of urban growth and is currently active in over 70 countries around the world. It is the leading United Nations agency promoting the development of socially and environmentally sustainable human settlements and the achievement of adequate shelter for all—its work spanning across the world—including in villages, towns, and cities of all sizes. In addition to ensuring cities become inclusive drivers of economic, social, and environmental change, UN-Habitat also aims to use sustainable urbanization as a means to achieve sustainable development and peace, thereby improving living conditions and health for all.
UN-Habitat produces reports detailing the state of global cities on their path towards more development and growth, including a flagship publication titled the World Cities Report.
