The report Urban Regeneration and Viruses: Learning from Past and Present Health Crises explores the spatial dimension of recovery measures from pandemics and epidemics. It provides a comparative study of urban regeneration case studies, presenting valuable learnings to build socio-economic and environmental resilience at different scales.

Based on experiences from the Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (UK FCDO) funded UN-Habitat’s Global Future Cities Programme (GFCP), this report is one of a two-part series that shares insights and recommendations for global programmes that seek to drive transformative impact and accelerate SDG implementation in rapidly urbanising contexts.

By sharing lessons from the Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (UK FCDO) funded UN-Habitat’s Global Future Cities Programme (GFCP), this report provides guidance to international organisations, donors, city authorities, UN agencies, and private sector on how to design and run multi-partner urban development initiatives that drive transformative impact and accelerate SDG implementation in rapidly urbanising cities.

Through a comparative analysis of the 19 cities of the Global Future Cities Programme, the report shares experiences and knowledge gained during the Programme’s Strategic Development Phase. It identifies common urban trends in urban planning, mobility, resilience and data, as well as underlying systemic barriers and enablers for sustainable urban development observed across the Global Future Cities.

The UN-Habitat guide to Addressing Urban and Human Settlement Issues in National Adaptation Plans was launched at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP-24) in Katowice, Poland.

Developed with the collaboration of 14 UN agencies, this guide aims to support UN Country Teams (UNCTs) across the Asia-Pacific in the design and delivery of urban programmes that are effective, integrated and multi-sectoral.

The Community Development Fund in Thailand has showed to be a very powerful development tool to address urban poverty and affordable housing at a national scale.
