THE WORLD URBAN FORUM Secretariat of the Governing Council, External Relations and Inter-Governmental Affairs Presented at the Induction briefing of new Permanent Representatives to UN-HABITAT by Ms. Mariam Yunusa Coordinator, World Urban Forum 17 September 2007

Establishment of the World Urban Forum The World Urban Forum was established by Resolution 18/5 in 2001 when the then Commission on Human Settlements requested the Executive Director UN-Habitat to promote a merger of the Urban Environment Forum and the International Forum on Urban Poverty into a new Urban Forum.

Functions of the Forum The World Urban Forum is inter-sessional, and meets biennially to facilitate the exchange of experience/ideas and advancement of collective knowledge among cities and their development partners. It is not an inter-governmental meeting, but a non-legislative technical forum in which experts can exchange views and practices on the challenges of urbanisation. It is an advisory body to the Executive Director of UN-HABITAT on international cooperation in shelter and urban development.

Participants at the Forum All Member States Local Authorities Inter-Governmental Organizations Non-Governmental Organizations International Organizations Community Groups Urban Business Professionals Academics and Students National and International Associations
