The New Urban Agenda
Overview
The New Urban Agenda is an action-oriented document that mobilizes Member States and other key stakeholders to drive sustainable urban development at the local level.
The implementation of the New Urban Agenda contributes to the localization of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in an integrated manner, and to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and targets, including Goal 11 of making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
The New Urban Agenda was adopted at the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) in Quito, Ecuador, on 20 October 2016. It was endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly at its sixty-eighth plenary meeting of the seventy-first session on 23 December 2016.

In October 2017, one year after the Habitat III Conference, the New Urban Agenda was published in audio version in the six United Nations official languages as part of the Habitat III legacy project, making it accessible to persons with disabilities. The translations were possible thanks to the collaboration with the Victor Pineda Foundation and World ENABLED.
