ONU Habitat

ONU Habitat, or the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, is a UN agency focused on promoting sustainable urban development and improving living conditions in cities worldwide. Established in 1978, it works to enhance social, economic, and environmental sustainability, addressing issues like housing, urban planning, and safe public spaces. ONU Habitat conducts research, provides technical guidance, and supports countries in developing policies for better urban living. Its goal is to ensure that all people, especially the marginalized, have access to adequate shelter and a healthy environment, ultimately promoting inclusive and resilient urban communities.
