After the
first experience in Bogotá 2012 and Monterrey 2015, the 3rd Latin American and Caribbean
Forum on Housing and Habitat 2018 is part of a larger initiative called the
Urban Housing Practitioners Hub (UHPH),
a regional platform for knowledge management and promotion of best practices in
urban habitat, which was officially presented at this event.
Since
housing is a central element in the construction of cities, the 3rd Forum focused on identifying the steps from this sector towards the implementation of
the New Urban Agenda (HIII); demonstrating through practices, approaches and
policies how housing interventions can be integrated into a more holistic
vision of habitat, bringing inclusion, resilience and sustainability to
settlements and the city.
On this
occasion, Habitat for Humanity,
in conjunction with the Cities
Alliance, UN-Habitat and other partners of UHPH, and with the special
collaboration of the Government of the Dominican Republic, organized this
space of exchange and discussion on Housing and Habitat.
