Time to Think Urban. UN-Habitats Vision on UrbanisationUN-HABITAT
UN-Habitat's vision of urbanization encompasses all levels of human settlements, including small rural communities, villages, market towns, intermediate cities and large cities and metropolises, i.e. wherever a stable community is continuously located and there are housing units together with permanent social and economic activities, common public space, urban basic services and local governance structure.
How Social Housing relates to the new urban agenda as it is shaped via the SDGs, the COP21 and the Habitat III processes? The presentation presents an overview of these three main processes, relates them to social housing and introduces UNEP's approach to Sustainable Social Housing (SUSHI Initiative)

I. Background:
The last several decades have seen significant changes in territorial, demographic, climatic, social, economic, technological and cultural dynamics, which have accelerated urbanization processes throughout the world. Insufficient policies and a shortfall of adequate housing interventions and development models have added to the arena high rates of exclusion, inequality, inequity and rights violations, as well as increases in the cost of land relative to income, precarious housing conditions and urban poverty. These changes, their related consequences and the various intents to address them are central to discussions surrounding development agendas.
For the first time in history, more than half of the world’s population resides in cities, and more than 90 percent of urban growth is occurring in developing countries.
Globally, approximately one billion people are living in slums. They lack access to basic services, suffer inadequate housing conditions and insecure tenure, and face issues related to environmental degradation, vulnerability and a host of social problems such as unemployment, violence and crime. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is the developing world’s most urbanized region, with more than 75 percent of its housing in urban areas. We must work together to seek solutions that will help improve the housing conditions of more than 120 million Latin Americans.
The First Forum on Adequate Housing for Latin America and the Caribbean, “Shared solutions for inclusive cities," took place in Bogota, Colombia in 2012, with the objective of building partnerships and solutions to increase access to safe, adequate housing.
The Third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, to take place in 2016, will lay out a “New Urban Agenda” focused on policies and strategies that will create more sustainable and equitable urban spaces. This New Urban Agenda will influence decisions and priorities over the next 20 years—both within the region and throughout the world. Accordingly, the Second Forum on Adequate Housing for Latin America and the Caribbean, “Housing for Life” (May 6-8th, 2015), will unite stakeholders from the various sectors (private, government, civil organizations and academia) that play a role in the region’s urban agenda to discuss ideas, experiences and proposals that turn innovative solutions and models into effective, multi-actor systems, and establish the pathways needed to institutionalize these systems and ensure the urban future we envision.

Human Settlements (Habitat II) is to address two themes of equal global importance: "Adequate shelter for all" and "Sustainable human settlements development in an urbanizing world". Human beings are at the centre of concerns for sustainable development, including adequate shelter for all and sustainable human settlements, and they are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature.

"There is a need for a holistic approach to urban development and human settlements which provides for affordable housing and infrastructure and prioritizes slum upgrading and urban regeneration. Governments task for UN-Habitat is to promote an integrated approach to planning and building sustainable cities and urban settlements, support local authorities,increase public awareness and enhance the involvement of local people, including the poor, in decision making." Joan Clos, Executive Director UN-Habitat, 2013
In this Urban Planning Assignment it is mentioned that with increased urbanization, it is difficult for the government to control the flow of people into the same. Apart from the above-mentioned issues related with urbanization and development of cities discussed in this Urban Planning Assignment, it does provide a compact area that supports a vast majority of the population.

REAL WORLD EXAMPLES OF SOLUTIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE CITIES
Cities present a crucial challenge and opportunity in the coming decades, as more than 2.5 billion people are expected to be added to the world's urban areas by 2050.
This presentation from Ani Dasgupta, Global Director, WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities, explores real-world examples of how change has been made in some of the fastest growing cities and economies of the world and discuss actions to ensure sustainable urbanization in the years and decades ahead.
There is strong evidence that improved economic productivity and resource efficiency that accompany urbanization can be achieved while simultaneously addressing the environmental and social externalities from rapid urban growth. Although a combination of technological, social and political innovation is necessary, a wide range of actionable solutions are currently available to address the challenges cities face across various sectors. 2015-16 is an unprecedented year of opportunity - with COP, SDG and Habitat III - for advancing action at the global and city level towards advancing sustainable urban growth.
How can cities implement the United Nations' SDGs locally? - an example from ...Carlos Hanke Barajas
Since January 2016, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), developed within the framework of Agenda 2030 for sustainable development, have applied to all countries of the world. Hardly any of these goals can be achieved without the participation of cities.
Mannheim is already involved in many ways in the field of sustainability.In a broad-based participation process we have worked together with more than 2,500 Mannheim residents, companies, institutions, initiatives and associations, universities, self-help groups and others to develop a large number of proposals and suggestions for the "Mannheim 2030" mission statement. The central questions were how the 17 global sustainability targets can be implemented at local level and what our life in Mannheim should look like in 2030. Based on the findings and results of the mission statement process, the previous strategic objectives of the City of Mannheim were revised. Through the local implementation of Agenda 2030, Mannheim is making an important contribution to a more sustainable and fairer world and is playing a pioneering international role in this

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.

Editor's Notes
While private sector investment in housing has increased, funding for large scale affordable housing and for expanding housing finance options for the urban poor remains limited
MoI targets
11.a Strengthening national and regional development planning
11.b Adopting and implementing integrated policies and plans towards inclusion, resource efficiency, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, resilience to disasters, and develop and implement holistic disaster risk management
11.c Support least developed countries, including through financial and technical assistance, in building sustainable and resilient buildings utilizing local materials
Accessibility to basic services: incl. water and sanitation; and in an urban and more developed rural context also includes lighting, electricity, and waste disposal. Context appropriate enabling policies should reduce the overall percentage of a population living in informal settlements
Habitability: protection from natural elements, structural hazards, and disease. Habitability is supported by the presence and enforcement of appropriate and protective building codes, zoning, and other regulatory frameworks that ensure safety and adequate space, and can be applied to selfbuilding as well.
Affordability: Housing costs should not threaten the attainment of other basic household needs. This dimension relates to policies and measures that ensure affordability of housing, these include subsidies, tax incentives and market regulation in more developed contexts. Housing subsidy incorporates mechanisms to monitor the proportion of the household’s income or expenditure devoted to housing costs.
Security of Tenure: The legal right to secure tenure—whether through freehold, leasehold, renting, or other form of individual and collective rights to housing—involves protection from forced eviction, harassment and other threats. In effect, it also guarantees access to use of, and control over, land, property and housing resources. This domain includes measures to ensure compliance with a continuum of land rights, as well as policies to prohibit housing discrimination and to promote gender‐equal land rights.
So, if this whole universe is covered – why do we need a New Urban Agenda?
Once in twenty years UN conference; intergovernmental meeting; leading to the adoption of a document by UN member states
Habitat I – led to establishment of UNCHS (now UN-HABITAT)
Habitat II - led to adoption of the Habitat Agenda with twin goals of adequate shelter and sustainable human settlements for all
Habitat III – will lead to the New Urban Agenda
Expand and improve supply chain of social housing stock
Enable community participation to support incremental housing, slum upgrading programs and community driven house supply
Support green infrastructure including the development of energy-efficient housing and technologies
Encourage 4Ps (people-public-private partnerships) in housing to close affordable housing gap
Recognize a continuum of land rights
Recognize land rights, not only as legal, but other such as ancestral, historical or the prolonged use
Ensure gender equality especially in land inheritance rights
Housing as a product and process
Recognise housing as a sector of the economy, contribution of the sector in stimulating productivity in other economic sectors
Address all forms of discrimination, prevent forced evictions, focus on the needs of the homeless and persons in vulnerable situations
Increase security of tenure, recognizing the plurality of tenure types, gender-responsive solutions
Support green infrastructure including the development of energy-efficient housing and technologies.
Variety of housing options that are affordable and accessible for different income groups, enabling socio-economic and cultural integration of marginalized communities and homeless persons
Integrate housing policies and approaches across all sectors and at all levels of government, focusing on provision of adequate, connected, affordable, accessible, safe, and well-located housing
