New Urban Agenda
The main objective of the Third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development - Habitat III - was to identify new challenges and strengthen the political compromise in order to achieve sustainable urban development through the approval of a "New Urban Agenda", which defines the parameters of the cities of the 21st century.
