| A plea for putting the issue of Urbanizing Deltas on the New Urban Agenda The UN conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III), will take place in Quito, Ecuador in the week of 17 October 2016. The objective of this conference is to secure renewed political commitment for sustainable urban development, assess accomplishments to date, address poverty and identify and address new and emerging urban challenges. It gives the opportunity to discuss the new Urban Agenda. The preparatory activities in committees and policy units are under way toward an agreement. The focus of Habitat III will be to reinvigorate the global commitment to the sustainable development of towns, cities and other human settlements. The Dutch government is actively participating in the preparatory process to the conference in Quito. The Dutch government together with other delta countries around the world strives to address specific attention on the international urban agenda for rapid urbanization of delta’s and the serious impact. Upon request of the Dutch government, Delta Alliance and Delft University of Technology prepared a paper for input in the Habitat III preparation process. The paper from Han Meyer and Renske Peters is a plea for putting the issue of Urbanizing Deltas on this New Urban Agenda. Delta Alliance / TU Delft, Wednesday 27 January 2016 |
