Upcoming Event: THE WORLD URBAN FORUM

The World Urban Forum - 3rd Session
Our Future: Sustainable Cities - Turning Ideas into Action
Vancouver, Canada, June 19-23, 2006


Canada will host the next UN-HABITAT World Urban Forum in 2006 — a key international event that will bring the global community together to find real solutions to the challenges facing cities and communities across the world. (Note: There is no fee to register for the Forum but participants must pay for their own travel and accommodation. It's FREE!)

For a wealth of background information, go to Habitat JAM. People from all walks of life and 194 countries participated in the Habitat JAM from December 1 – 4, 2005, a unique 72-hour Internet event focused on solving some of the world’s most critical urbanization issues. Over 39,000 people participated as equals and expressed their views, shared ideas and learned from one another, including the elites of government, business and academia, alongside youth, women’s groups and citizens of impoverished communities around the world.
