Around 50,000 delegates met in Quito, Ecuador, in October for the Habitat 3 conference which set out the United Nations' New Urban Agenda – a guide to policies and approaches for the sustainable development and planning of cities and towns across the globe for the next 20 years.
As part of The University of Manchester's research beacon for addressing global inequalities, we brought you a special series of blogs from some of our leading researchers.
