The theme of WUF13 “Housing the world: Safe and resilient cities and communities” is supported by six Dialogues. Each explores a different dimension on how adequate housing can drive inclusion, equity and climate resilience by linking housing to the wider urban fabric. WUF13 will foster conversations in multiple formats, such as roundtables, assemblies, special sessions, etc., which will create diverse entry points for considering the role of all urban actors, including grass roots, civil society, private sector, academia, all levels of government and international organizations, among many more.
The Dialogues will structure WUF13 events and serve as conceptual anchors for activities and discussions. They are curated by UN-Habitat and facilitated by global thought leaders and experts.
