Habitat III will:

• Rethink the Urban Agenda: By embracing urbanization at all levels of human settlements, more appropriate policies can embrace urbanization across physical space, bridging urban, peri – urban and rural areas, and assist governments in addressing challenges through national and local development policy frameworks.

• Integrate Equity to the Development Agenda: Equity becomes an issue of social justice, ensures access to the public sphere, extends opportunities and increases the commons.

• Foster national urban planning and planned city extensions.

• Decide how relevant sustainable development goals will be supported through sustainable urbanization.

• Align and strengthen institutional arrangements with the substantive outcomes of Habitat III, so as to ensure effective delivery of the New Urban Agenda.

• Revise and renew UN – Habitat’s mandate to ensure that it is fit for purpose. UN – Habitat is ready to join efforts with Governments stakeholders to promote a new model of urban development for the twenty – first century.
