In resolution 66/207 and in line with the bi-decennial cycle (1976, 1996 and 2016), the United Nations General Assembly decided to convene the Habitat III Conference to reinvigorate the global commitment to sustainable urbanization and to focus on the implementation of a New Urban Agenda, building on the Habitat Agenda of Istanbul in 1996. United Nations Member States, in resolution 67/216, decided that the objectives of the Conference were to secure renewed political commitment to sustainable urban development, assess accomplishments to date, address poverty, and identify and address new and emerging challenges. The Conference will result in a concise, focused, forward-looking, and action- oriented outcome document: the New Urban Agenda. Habitat III is to play an important role in making cities and human settlements equitable, prosperous, just, equal, and safe. WHERE AND WHEN DOES IT TAKE PLACE The Habitat III Conference will take place in the city of Quito, in Ecuador, from 17 to 20 October 2016. WHO IS PARTICIPATING IN HABITAT III The Conference welcomes the participation and contributions of all Member States and relevant stakeholders, including parliamentarians, civil society organizations, 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 organizations of the United Nations system and intergovernmental organizations. 11 HABITAT III & THE NEW URBAN AGENDA THE GLOBAL CONTEXT Cities today occupy approximately only 2% of the total land, however : Economy (gdp) 70% Global energy consumption over 60% Green gas emissions 70% Global waste 70% “Cities are where the battle for sustainable development will be won or lost” - HLP 2013 RETHINKING THE NEW URBAN AGENDA Urbanization as an endogenous source of Development New urban models are required to effectively address the challenge of Climate Change Urbanization as a tool for Social Integration and Equity Embracing urbanization at all levels of human settlements Assist governments in addressing challenges through national and local development policy framework Fostering national urban planning and planned city extensions Aligning and strengthening institutional arrangements 12 ONLINE INFORMATION HABITAT III & LOCAL AUTHORITIES UN Habitat www.unhabitat.org Habitat III Conference www.habitat3.org The New Urban Agenda www.habitat3.org/the-new-urban-agenda United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) www.uclg.org Brochure: The Sustainable Development Goals.

  • Practical Information for Delegates Welcome to Leuven!
    ALTE 50th Meeting & Conference Day 20th – 22nd September 2017 – CNaVT, Leuven, Belgium Practical information for delegates Welcome to Leuven! We are so happy to welcome you to Leuven - a small university city with great history, good food, and dozens of pubs within stumbling distance. On the program we have dazzlingly interesting speakers, a thought-provoking topic, and a few exciting social events. This practical program can help you settle in a little in, but don’t hesitate to send us an e-mail if you have a specific question. Travel Information Travelling to Leuven is easy. There are direct plane connections between Brussels and most other capitals in Europe, and high-speed trains to all neighbouring countries. From Brussels you can reach Leuven in 15 to 30 minutes. Do not confuse Leuven (Louvain in French) and Louvain-La-Neuve, since these are two different towns (cool story about how the former and the latter parted ways though). By plane There are two main airports in Belgium: (1) Brussels Airport and (2) Brussels South Charleroi, which is mainly for low-cost carriers. We recommend arriving at Brussels Airport because it offers easier and faster connections to Leuven. A direct train connects Brussels Airport to Leuven in 15 minutes and costs €9.10. This train runs twice every hour. Connections from Brussels South Charleroi Airport to Leuven involve an intricate combination of buses, trains and sheer luck. It will take you at least 90 minutes to Leuven. By car Leuven can be reached easily by car. The E40 highway connecting Brussels and Liège runs through Leuven.
