Our goal at WUF13 is to form political and practical solutions to problems at all levels.

This was stated by Anaclaudia Rossbach, Executive Director of the UN-Habitat programme.

She said they aim to respond to crises people face everywhere in the world.

Those living in slums, unable to buy or rent, and street dwellers are most affected.

We expect WUF13 to create a large cooperation platform. The private sector and civil society must help.
