Compendium on Sustainable Urbanization and Forced Displacement - Check out our Latest Publication in addressing and preventing Forced Displacement


The UN-Habitat compendium on sustainable urbanization and forced displacement outlines the agency's approach to integrating forced displacement into urban planning. As the number of displaced persons rises due to conflicts, climate change and disasters, urban areas are increasingly pressured to provide essential services and infrastructure. This often leads to informal settlements and heightened vulnerabilities.


Aligned with global frameworks like the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the New Urban Agenda, UN-Habitat's strategy emphasizes inclusive and resilient cities. The approach includes urban profiling to assess displacement impacts, enhancing housing and land tenure security and promoting participatory urban planning. It also supports integrated territorial planning to improve governance and address displacement dynamics.


The compendium showcases UN-Habitat's experiences in managing urban displacement in contexts such as Syria, Iraq, Mozambique and Afghanistan. Through multi-stakeholder involvement and sustainable solutions, UN-Habitat aims to transform urban environments into supportive spaces for displaced populations.
