Summary
The event will launch the Third Edition of the Global State of National Urban Policy, co-developed by OECD and UN-Habitat. The report monitors, analyses and evaluates the progress on the state of national urban policy at the global level. Building on the two previous editions (2018, 2021), the report shows key trends, country experiences and other cross-cutting thematic topics. This 3rd edition especially focuses on how national urban policy is addressing two key topics: a) affordable, adequate and sustainable housing and b) urban resilience, providing evidence and policy implications for urban leaders. The launch event will highlight the main findings of the report, which will serve as a basis of discussion of a panel composed of high-level representatives of national governments, regional bodies, development partners, and international organisations.
