Opportunities for the New Urban Agenda

Opportunities for the New Urban Agenda

In the context of the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) in October 2016, the New Urban Agenda (NUA) will be agreed upon. Participants in a July workshop agreed that the New Urban Agenda should formulate an aspirational vision to guide urban sustainable development, and highlight the challenges and opportunities of implementing the Sustainable Development Goals in an urban context.
