Relive the Habitat Village’s atmosphere at the World Urban Forum 11

Fighting for the Right to Housing and Right to the City through collective work at Habitat Village

During the first semester of 2022, various partners of the CoHabitat Network collaborated to conceptualise and facilitate an exhibition stand during the World Urban Forum 11, held in Katowice, Poland, from the 26th to the 30th of June 2022.

This space, called Habitat Village, was the concretisation of a collective work of urbaMonde, World Habitat, Habitat International Coalition, Global Platform for the Right to the City, MOBA Housing SCE, Misereor, IIED, Development Planning Unit of the University College London, Catalytic Communities, ACHR, SDI, and urbaSEN.

Through this joint work, Habitat Village aimed to materialise a place for the reunion of all CoHabitat organisations, especially after the previous two years, during which pandemic restrictions caused by the COVID-19 health crisis limited opportunities for meetings and encounters.

This video highlights the key features of the Habitat Village. We thank the speakers for their contributions, and Matthew Jordaan for his editing work.
