Date: 4 – 8 November 2024
Format: In person
Location: Cairo, Egypt
The 12th edition of the World Urban Forum will take place in Cairo, Egypt from the 4th to 8th of November. This is the largest and most important conference on sustainable urbanisation. The WUF was established in 2001 by the United Nations to examine one of the most pressing issues facing the world today: rapid urbanisation and its impact on communities, cities, economies, climate change and policies. The first WUF was held in Nairobi, Kenya in 2002 and has been held around the world ever since. This will be the first time in over 20 years, that the forum is returning to the African continent, and it is the first time that it will be held in a megacity. The theme of this edition is ‘It all starts at home’.
Cities4Children and its members are planning several events and campaigns leading up to and during the event to ensure the rights and voices of children and youth are included in the forum.
