21 December 2009

On 30 November, UN Habitat notified the International Secretariat of the acceptance of their training application for the fifth session of the World Urban Forum to be held 22-26 March 2010 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

This is wonderful news and the training session titled, “How to Effectively Incorporate Sustainability into Urban Governance” will be available for government, business and civil leaders to attend.

The World Urban Forum is one of the most open and inclusive gatherings of its kind on the international stage. It brings together government leaders, ministers, mayors, diplomats, members of national, regional and international associations of local governments, non-governmental and community organizations, professionals, academics, grassroots women’s organizations, youth and slum dwellers groups as partners working for better cities.
