National Urban Policy in Five Continents: A Regional Dialogue Session

The Regional Dialogue Session will investigate how the promotion of NUP can benefit not only single countries but also an entire region. Building on existing experiences, such as the UN Habitat Region Programme on National Urban Policy in the Arab States, the session offers a learning opportunity on how regional programmes on NUP could be set up, foster exchanges, and strengthen country level support for NUP.

The Dialogue Session will invite regional representatives to a moderated panel discussion on the challenges and lessons for NUP in their region and the opportunities for and potential benefits of regional programme(s) on NUP. Opportunity for questions from the plenary will be provided prior to the closing of the Dialogue Session.
