The 12th World Urban Forum (WUF) - the world’s premier conference on urban issues - will be hosted right here in Egypt in 2024. According to their official announcement, the UN has recognized Egypt as a key player in urban development. 

 

With an emphasis on sustainability, the 2024 edition of the WUF examines one of the most pressing issues facing the world today, including rapid urbanisation and its impact on communities, cities, economies, climate change and policies.

 

The bi-annual event was established by UN-Habitat in 2001. The first WUF was held in Nairobi, Kenya in 2002 and has since travelled to Vancouver, Barcelona, Nanjing, Rio de Janeiro, Medellin, Kuala Lumpur, and many other destinations every other year. This year, the WUF will be held in Katowice, Poland.
