Housing at the Centre in 2016 - Annual Overview of activities

This report highlights some of the work that has been performed by UN-Habitat in the past year to progressively and strategically reposition housing at the centre of city development across the world, by the Programme’s Housing Unit but also by other Units and Branches as well as country and regional offices. Starting with a quick summary of the year, this report proceeds to detail the work done through events, publications, advocacy, capacity building, and other key activities in the various portfolios that UN-Habitat has been covering in order to make adequate housing a reality for all: national housing policy, housing finance, housing rights, green housing, and public advocacy for the centrality of housing.
