UN-Habitat: Global housing crisis is unevenly distributed

The global housing crisis is unevenly distributed.

Report informs that UN-Habitat Executive Director Anacláudia Rossbach said this at a conference held as part of WUF13 in Baku.

She noted that some communities and geographic regions are more affected by the housing crisis. Therefore, it is very important for UN-Habitat to identify the potential of the World Urban Forum.

Rossbach emphasized that a new strategic plan for 2026–2029 has been developed.

"This plan places housing at the center of attention, covering land services, informal settlements, as well as implementation needs," she said.
