The 13th session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13) is an important platform for exchanging experiences in urban policy, Adib Benbrahim, Secretary of State for Housing at the Ministry of National Territory and Urban Planning, Housing and City Policy of Morocco, said, according to Report.

"It is especially important that WUF13 is a platform for exchanging experiences. Many countries and various practices are represented here, which need to be shared," he said.

Speaking about Morocco's urban policy, Benbrahim noted that the country has achieved significant progress in a number of key areas.
