The Tenth Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF10) commenced the Decade of Action, mobilizing local, national, and global communities toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The conference marked the end of an era before COVID-19 — yet brought upon an urgent call for addressing increasing inequality and climate emergencies.WUF10 in Abu Dhabi brought together more than 13,000 participants from 169 countries, including over 30,000 cumulative attendees throughout the week. The forum was a catalyst to propel the New Urban Agenda and cement commitments and pledges toward achieving the SDGs by the end of the decade. An urgent call to action and creative problem solving was at the heart of every session throughout the week. Over the course of 500 sessions, urbanization solidified its place as a criticalgateway to addressing the 17 SDGs and ensuring that no person, or place, is left behind.The AIA Housing and Community Development Knowledge Community strives to bring these issues to the forefront of conversation between architects and allied partners, while affirming commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda.
