UN-Habitat's periodic review of progress on Sustainable Development Goal 11 (sustainable cities), presented in July 2026; it records some gains but warns the housing crisis threatens overall progress.
Launched with the Government of South Sudan, the review argues that rapid urbanisation should be harnessed as a driver of stability, jobs and inclusive growth in a post-conflict setting.
UN-Habitat's flagship biennial report, launched at the 13th World Urban Forum in Baku, is devoted to the worldwide housing crisis and how planning, governance and finance can respond.
