Centrality of the right to adequate housing for the development and implementation of the New Urban Agenda to be adopted at Habitat III in October 2016 2015, para. 18
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The challenge of Habitat III is to ground a new urban agenda in an updated and more dynamic understanding of how the right to adequate housing can ground a transformational process of realizing the goals of inclusive sustainable cities in which everyone has access to adequate housing. The new urban agenda is the right space at the right time to embrace and articulate a new human rights framework for cities: an urban rights agenda. And within this human rights framework, the right to adequate housing and associated obligations of all relevant actors must be clearly articulated and firmly rooted.
