 Mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all. It is the focal point for all urbanization & human settlement matters within the United Nations system.  Advocating for the transformative power of urbanization and SDG 11. It presses on the need to discuss a New Urban Agenda that will focus on policies and strategies that can create a pattern of sustainable urban growth.

About UN-Habitat in Pakistan

Thematic areas

• Urban Legislation, Land & Governance
• Urban Basic Services, particularly WASH

and Solid Waste Management

• Housing & Slum Upgrading

WASH and Community Infrastructure

Transforming our World

 The 2030 Development Agenda was adopted in New York on 25 Sept 2015 by Heads of State and Government.  Includes 17 goals and 169 targets (126 outcome targets and 43 MOI targets).

Potential impacts

a) focus attention on urgent and unique urban challenges and future opportunities; b) empower all urban actors around practical problem solving; c) address the specific challenges of urban poverty and access to infrastructure; d) promote integrated and innovative infrastructure design and service delivery; e) promote land use planning and efficient spatial concentration; f) ensure resilience to climate change and disaster risk reduction.
