Yesterday at the opening of the Canada Pavilion in the #WUF13 Urban Expo, we also marked the 50th anniversary of Habitat I, the first UN Conference on Human Settlements in Vancouver in 1976.
A powerful reminder that partnerships remain at the heart of the global urban agenda.

Over 1.1B people live in informal settlements — without action, millions more will remain in inadequate housing by 2030.
Addressing this is key to climate resilience, health and inclusion.
#WUF13 brings global voices to shape solutions.

Shops, schools, parks, clinics, and more places we value are empty without housing at their core.
Affordable, resilient housing keeps communities strong and cities functioning.
