Commission puts forward commitments to reach global targets in sustainable urban development

The New Urban Agenda, adopted at the U.N. Habitat III Conference taking place this week in Quito, Ecuador, contains guidelines to make cities all over the world more inclusive, green, safe and prosperous. U.N. Habitat partners, including the EU and its Member States, presented commitments to implement the New Urban Agenda, each with a specific scope and expected achievements and deliverables.

The EU’s three commitments are:

  1. Delivering the New Urban Agenda through the Urban Agenda for the EU
  2. Developing a global, harmonised definition of cities and
  3. Fostering cooperation between cities in the field of sustainable urban development.
