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. 74
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Embracing the right to adequate housing as a framework for a new urban agenda will require innovative and creative ideas and approaches. It challenges how we govern, what issues and interests are prioritized, the allocation of resources and the nature of the laws, policies and programmes developed. It establishes who is accountable to whom, facilitates the participation of those who are marginalized in decisions that fundamentally affect their lives, and lays out the steps required for implementation. This is the road less travelled, but an urban rights agenda is the way forward.
