The third UN Conference
on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (UN-Habitat III) convened at
Quito, Ecuador, from October 17 to 20, 2016. The aim of this conference was to
promote a new model of urban development, integrating sustainability, equity,
welfare and shared prosperity. Out of this conference emerged a ‘New Urban
Agenda’ that calls for environmentally sustainable and resilient urban
development to withstand the unprecedented threats from unsustainable
consumption and production patterns, loss of biodiversity, pressure on
ecosystems, pollution, natural and man-made disasters and climate change.
