Habitat Agenda

The Habitat Agenda, established during the 1996 United Nations Habitat II Conference in Istanbul, outlines a global commitment to improving living conditions in urban areas. Its main goals focus on promoting sustainable urban development, ensuring adequate housing for all, and enhancing access to basic services like clean water and sanitation. The agenda encourages countries to address issues such as poverty, environmental degradation, and social inequality in urban settings, aiming to create inclusive, safe, and sustainable communities for future generations. It emphasizes collaboration among governments, civil society, and the private sector to achieve these objectives.
