In the space of a few short years, the World Urban Forum has turned into the world’s premier conference on cities. The Forum was established by the United Nations to examine one of the most pressing problems facing the world today: rapid urbanization and its impact on communities, cities, economies, climate change and policies.

Since the first meeting in Nairobi, Kenya in 2002, the Forum has grown in size and stature as it travelled to Barcelona in 2004, Vancouver 2006, and Nanjing in 2008.

Entre 22 a 26 de março o V Forum Urbano Mundial no Rio de Janeiro, na zona portuária, patrocinado pela ONU-Habitat, cujo tema será “O Direito à Cidade: Unindo o Urbano Dividido” e reunirá representantes de vários países. Inscrições  abertas até o dia 14 de março devem ser feitas no site oficial  http://www.unhabitat.org/categories.asp?catid=584Informações sobre a programação http://wuf5.cidades.gov.br/pt-BR/Home.aspx
