The World Urban Forum (Tenth Session)

On 8-13 February 2020, UN-Habitat is holding the Tenth Session of the World Urban Forum in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The theme of the Tenth Session is "Cities of Opportunities: Connecting culture and innovation", and the sessions will take stock of emerging innovative approaches and practices in harnessing culture and innovation as drivers for sustainable urbanisation and provide greater insights into the linkages between urbanisation, culture and innovation as a basis for achieving inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and human settlements.

The objectives of the World Urban Forum are:

• Raise awareness on sustainable urbanisation among stakeholders and constituencies, including the general public;
• Improve the collective knowledge on sustainable urban development through inclusive open debates, sharing of lessons learned and the exchange of best practices and good policies;
• Increase coordination and cooperation between different stakeholders and constituencies for the advancement and implementation of sustainable urbanisation.
