UCLG & Global Taskforce

Rural-urban connections, local culture or municipal cooperation at the international level are some of the key areas we recommend the UN to address in view to the future Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) to take place in 2016. The conference aims to reinvigorate the global commitment to sustainable urbanisation, with a special focus on the implementation of a “New Urban Agenda” at the international level. 

This document was presented in New York last 17 September, by local and regional government organisations worldwide (including our global organisation UCLG and its regional sections) gathered in the Global taskforce.
