Data and Monitoring","description":"The briefing stressed that better urban policy depends on timely, reliable, and disaggregated data. Speakers linked stronger monitoring systems, settlement mapping, and community-generated data to better targeting of investments, measuring SDG 11 progress, and designing fairer policies."},{"key":"adequate-housing","label":"Adequate Housing","description":"Speakers repeatedly framed the global housing shortage and affordability crisis as the central obstacle to achieving inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities. Housing was presented not just as shelter, but as the foundation for access to jobs, services, health, education, and dignity."},{"key":"public-transport","label":"Public Transport and Urban Mobility","description":"Access to public transport was discussed as one of the areas where progress has been made, but major gaps remain. The conversation linked sustainable mobility to housing, inclusion, financing, and the broader design of cities that connect people to opportunity."},{"key":"climate-resilience","label":"Climate Resilience and Disaster Risk","description":"Climate-related disasters, heat waves, flooding, hurricanes, and other shocks were highlighted as major urban challenges. Speakers emphasized resilient housing, risk-informed planning, greener building design, and stronger disaster preparedness at both national and local levels."},{"key":"care-infrastructure","label":"Care Infrastructure in Cities","description":"A distinct theme was the need to recognize childcare, eldercare, disability support, and the needs of caregivers as part of essential urban infrastructure. Speakers argued that housing and neighborhood design must include facilities and services that make care work visible and supported."},{"key":"informal-settlements","label":"Informal Settlements and Tenure Security","description":"Several statements focused on the growing number of people living in slums and informal settlements and the need for in-situ upgrading rather than displacement. Discussion also covered land rights, tenure security, titling, protection from forced evictions, and tailoring solutions to local legal and risk conditions."},{"key":"sdg11-implementation","label":"SDG 11 and New Urban Agenda Implementation","description":"The discussion repeatedly returned to the fact that the world is off track on SDG 11 and needs faster implementation before 2030. Speakers connected the report to the midterm review of the New Urban Agenda and called for stronger financing, governance, cooperation, and political commitment."},{"key":"community-participation","label":"Community Participation in Urban Planning","description":"Multiple speakers argued that communities, especially grassroots and women-led organizations, must be treated as partners rather than passive beneficiaries. They called for needs assessments, direct investment in community-led solutions, and a permanent role for residents in planning and budgeting decisions."}]}}
