These events will be hosted from June 28th to 30th during the 11th World Urban Forum (wuf.unhabitat.org), a premier global conference on sustainable urbanisation, organised by UN-Habitat (unhabitat.org), the City of Katowice (katowice.eu), and the Ministry of European Funds and Regional Policy Development in Katowice (gov.pl/web/funds-regional-policy), Poland.
