2016 Habitat III
! The development of a New Urban Agenda
! Offers the opportunity to rethink the role of housing in the development agenda and within the new strategic thinking of UN-Habitat on planned urbanization
! Also an opportunity to engage policy makers on adequate housing provision, and for the public sector to lead by example
! Positioning Housing at the Centre – of urbanization, national development agendas and cities
! A paradigm shift – in housing policy, urban planning and building practices
! A strengthened role of governments – through strong institutions, policy and regulatory frameworks
! National and local authorities need to be at the helm – of policy design and implementation
! This also means directly intervening – in the different areas of housing provision - including infrastructure and land
“Housing at the Centre”
A Global collaborative movement towards adequate housing for all based on the principles of Human Rights and Inclusion
! Strengthen the role of governments in housing policy, regulation and intervention
! Provide technical support and assistance to the overall policy making and implementation process
