Pleased to represent @UNHABITAT at the "Standing with #Syria" conference. Among generous pledges and concerns on recent violence, there's hope in a genuine transition and inclusive reconstruction. UN-Habitat supports securing housing, land and property rights for all.

The future of cities must be co-created with communities, civil society, private sector, local and regional government. National Urban Forums bring these actors together. @MichalMlynar @UNHABITAT #MIPIM @urbancampaign

Yesterday, the #COVID19 Emergency Committee met for the 15th time and recommended to me that I declare an end to the public health emergency of international concern. I have accepted that advice. With great hope I declare COVID-19 over as a global health emergency.

Interesting conversation this week with Senator Nunez and Ambassador Guerra of #Chile on inclusive cities as an alternative to camps and informal migrant settlements. Looking forward to exploring this further in #Antofagasta @paulinanu @ChitiRoi @ElkinVelasquezM @filiepdecorte

#Housing is a multifaceted crisis which requires a fundamental shift in our fiscal, monetary, economic policies. Every city, every mayor is grappling with it, and they cannot address it alone- @leilanifarha #CitiesSummit @UCLG_Saiz @UNHABITAT @LewisLUNHabitat @RafTuts
