As part of the 7 Day Countdown to a world of 7 billion people, we’re dedicating each day this week to a specific key topic relating to the 7 Billion Actions campaign.
Sunday’s topic will be Urbanization: Planning for Growth and the 7 Billion Actions campaign is partnering with UN-HABITAT to bring special attention to this topic.
Share your story with us. What have you seen people do it your city that makes it a more livable place? Bike lanes? Farmers markers? Urban farming?
What are you doing to make your neighborhood a more livable space?
Share your story by:
- Posting it on the UN-HABITAT Facebook Page and commenting on the Wall
- Tweeting your story using #7billion and #other90cities
Did you know that close to 1 billion people live in informal settlements, commonly known as slums or squatter settlements?
Share the Design with the Other 90%: CITIES with your friends. It features sixty projects, proposals, and solutions that address the complex issues arising from the unprecedented rise of informal settlements in emerging and developing economies.
There are also multiple other ways you can participate throughout the day. Find out how.
