A városok világfóruma május 17–22. között kerül megrendezésre Bakuban „Lakhatás mindenkinek” mottóval.

A Városok Világfóruma (WUF) egy magas szintű konferencia, amelyen a gyors és gyakran nem tervezett urbanizációval, az éghajlatváltozással és a növekvő egyenlőtlenségekkel kapcsolatos kulcsfontosságú kihívásokat vitatják meg – számol be a Toppress az „AZERTAJ” hírügynökségre hivatkozva.

A fórumot az ENSZ hozta létre 2001-ben, és az UN-Habitat égisze alatt rendezik meg. Az első fórumot 2002-ben tartották Nairobiban.

A Városok Világfórumának 13. ülésszakára (WUF13) 2026. május 17–22. között kerül sor Bakuban. A WUF13 témája: „Lakhatás mindenkinek: biztonságos és fenntartható városok és települések”. A fórumon állami vezetők, nemzetközi szervezetek képviselői, valamint az építészet, a várostervezés és a fenntartható fejlődés szakértői vesznek részt.

A WUF13 bakui megrendezése Azerbajdzsán és az ENSZ, valamint az UN-Habitat közötti együttműködés eredménye. A vonatkozó megállapodást 2023. december 22-én írták alá, majd 2024 márciusában hagyta jóvá Azerbajdzsán elnöke, Ilham Aliyev. A fórum nemzeti koordinátorává az Állami Várostervezési és Építészeti Bizottság elnökét, Anar Guliyev nevezték ki.

A fórum fontos nemzetközi platformot jelent Azerbajdzsán számára, hogy bemutassa eredményeit a városfejlesztés, a terület-helyreállítás és a fenntartható fejlődés terén. A WUF13 bakui megrendezése emellett lehetőséget teremt a nemzetközi partnerségek bővítésére a városirányítás, az éghajlati ellenálló képesség és a biztonságos városi környezet kialakítása területén.
