The forum features presentations on projects implemented in Bogotá, Colombia, as well as on future city initiatives in Asia. During the discussions, Azerbaijan’s post-conflict economic recovery and its modern infrastructure in the field of architecture drew particular attention, Silali Joseph, Senior youth advisor at March for Our Planet from Kenya, told AZERTAC on the sidelines of WUF13.
