Introduction
This publication brings
together several articles on the Habitat Conferences (Vancouver 1976, Istanbul
1996 and Quito 2016) produced by Habitat International Coalition (HIC) during
the 1976-2016 period. We hope they will serve as a reference for Members,
Friends and HIC Partners for the Habitat III conference and in the near future.
We also include the HIC historical overview and the statement on Habitat III
preparations signed by 146 networks, civil society organizations, movements,
research centers and individuals from 35 countries. We take this opportunity to
invite Members, Friends and HIC Partners to send your contributions for the
forthcoming publication on HIC presence at Habitat conferences, which
will also serve to celebrate these first 40 years of struggles for the rights
related to habitat.
