Baku, May 22, AZERTAC
The application of innovative technologies and data systems toward upgrading informal settlements in Latin America was discussed as part of the 13th Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13).
The event brought together government officials, international organizations, civil society institutions, and development partners to exchange experiences regarding technological tools that support the development of informal settlements.
Innovative solutions, such as urbanization observation platforms, land registries, open data systems, and geographic information technologies, were presented during the session. It was noted that these tools strengthen evidence-based decision-making, support the comprehensive renewal of neighborhoods, and contribute to the gradual realization of the right to adequate housing.
Organizations such as Guatemala's Ministry of Communications, Infrastructure, and Housing, as well as the Secretariat for Central American Social Integration, participated as partners in the event.
