We're thrilled to have convened a meeting of the Urban Housing Practitioners Hub in Asia-Pacific as an associated event at the Eighth Session of the Committee on Environment and Development hosted by United Nations ESCAP. Participants came together to co-create a network of networks to work jointly to increase access to adequate housing in the region. This is a follow up to a session that Habitat hosted as part of #APUF8 and the #APHousingForum, which brought together key stakeholders to work together in the housing ecosystem space in the region.
