The aim of this guide is to suggest positive steps that city planners, public officials, and residents can take to improve migrant inclusion.

The Mediterranean City-to-City Migration Project (MC2CM) brings together experts and cities to contribute to improved migration governance at city level, including migrants' access to basic services and human rights. Implemented since 2015, the project is working with the cities of Amman, Beirut, Lisbon, Lyon, Madrid, Tangiers, Tunis, Turin and Vienna to increase the knowledge base on urban migration and nurture a peer-to-peer dialogue to support mutual learning on specific urban challenges such as social cohesion, intercultural dialogue, employment and provision of basic services for migrants, among others.

A report that reviews the urbanization process over the last 20 years, analyses existing issues and new challenges and provide orientations for future urbanization

This publication introduces the general development status of cities in Vietnam on different dimensions, from history, administrative characteristics, land, population, labor structure, to economic, cultural-social aspects, infrastructure, and environment. Ultimately, it provides the general picture of the urban system in Vietnam.

The GG-CDS aims to strengthen urban management in the city and institutional frameworks which deal with infrastructure, the services sector, and natural resource management. The GG-CDS is primarily aimed at identifying integrated green growth opportunities and gaps with green growth criteria aligned with key programs under the SEDP and the eco-city development plan.

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. The guide highlights the crucial role of scaling up climate action by integrating human settlements into national adaptation planning and processes.

Gizo is the provincial center for the Western province and is located approximately 370 kilometers from Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands. It serves as the main economic link between Honiara and the rural villages in the Western province.

Auki was set up in 1909 by the British administration and is located approximately 100 kilometers from Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands. Auki serves as the main economic link between Honiara and the rural villages in the highlands of Malaita. It has been growing rapidly over the recent decades to become the third largest town after Honiara and Gizo.

Urban profiling in Solomon Islands started in 2011, following a partnership agreement made between the Government of Solomon Islands and UN‑Habitat in response to the sustainable development challenges of rapid urbanization. Solomon Islands has one of the highest annual urban growth rates (4.7 percent) in the Pacific.

The shift towards a predominantly urban world makes the process of urbanization one of the most significant global trends of the 21st century. The significant transformation that has occurred in recent decades has given greater understanding and recognition to the role of urbanization in development. Towards Habitat III, UN-Habitat has concentrated efforts to re-establish the role of housing for the future of sustainable urbanization. With that aim, it is proposing the ‘Housing at the Centre’ approach, which comes to position housing at the centre of national and local urban agendas.

‘Housing at the Centre’ aims to shift the focus from simply building houses to a holistic framework for housing development, orchestrated with urban planning practice and placing people and human rights at the forefront of urban sustainable development. At the national level, the goal is to integrate housing into National Urban Policies and into UN-Habitat’s strategic thinking on planned urbanization.

At the local level, the approach is to reinforce the importance of housing for urban planning and concomitantly to the development of cities and people. With the ‘Housing at the Centre’ approach, UN-Habitat will re-establish housing problems and opportunities in the international development agenda in an increasingly strategic manner vis-a-vis the future of urbanization.
