The Egypt Urban Campaign, spearheaded by UN-Habitat, is gearing up to prepare Egyptian organizations and citizens for the World Urban Forum 12 (WUF 12), aiming to elevate the event's significance for the nation's future.
With a focus on fostering dialogue and collaboration, the Egypt Urban Campaign seeks to address pressing urban sustainability issues and encourage proactive exchanges among stakeholders on local urban challenges. Structured around six pillars covering topics such as population growth, heritage preservation, resilience, inclusion, well-being, and housing, the initiative aims to mobilize a broad network of Egypt-based entities, to engage in a meaningful conversation, outline solutions to current and future challenges.
The Urban Thinkers together Assembly Event provides an engagement stage for urban thinkers to converge and exchange ideas on critical urban issues. Stakeholders will have the opportunity to share progress to date in their campaign activities and adjust the trajectory of the road map to make it a successful initiative towards WUF12.
