The session entitled “Future Urbanization: how will your city change over the next decades?” was held as part of the 13th Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13) in Baku.
The event presented the World Urbanization Prospects 2025 and for the first time, a comprehensive analysis for the future priorities of the cities were reviewed.
