The Habitat Agenda addresses a range of human settlement development issues. The Agenda also recognises that these issues and the critical social and economic problems of our time such as growing numbers of urban poor, unemployment, status of women and suffering of children, are closely linked.
Since 1996, Habitat has been monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the Habitat Agenda using a variety of tools, including best practices, urban indicators and statistics. Comprehensive analysis of human settlements conditions and trends and data on a wide array of urban issues are presented in UN-HABITAT's flagship publications: The Global Report on Human Settlements and State of the World's Cities Report published every two years.
