Department of Economic and Social Affairs Division for Social Policy and Development will be holding a High-Level Side Event focusing on inclusive cities for sustainable families during the 55th Commission for Social Development.
With two-thirds of the global population living in cities by 2030, urban areas are crucial to social development, economic prosperity and poverty eradication. They drive most of the economic growth and are a source of innovation, facing sanitation and security challenges while acting as cultural centres. This brings challenges for all family members such as children, parents, youth, persons with disabilities and older persons.
