World Urban Forum 3

The theme of the third session of the world urban forum was: "Sustainable Cities – Turning Ideas into Action".

As these cities expand, the world community faces the challenge of minimizing the growing poverty crisis and improving the urban poor's access to basic facilities, such as shelter, clean water and sanitation.

Habitat Jam, a three-day international online event, was conceived to set the stage for the WUF3 conference.

Seventy actionable ideas were collected through the Jam and were used to define themes and shape discussion topics for delegates attending the forum.

Participation in Habitat Jam was open to public and private-sector organizations and individuals around the world with an interest in urban issues.
