World Urban Forum 3

UN-Habitat - the UN programme that deals with human settlements and cities - has officially launched the third World Urban Forum that will take place this June in Vancouver, Canada. Personally, I have mixed views about how much either UN-Habitat or things like the WUF achieve, although it does have a pretty useful best practice research library. But the write-ups from the Urban Forums are at least always interesting to keep a global perspective on what we are doing in urban regeneration and upgrading. If anyone's planning to go do let me know!
