“Today, approximately 3 billion people worldwide live in inadequate housing conditions. More than 1 billion people reside in slums, while over 300 million people face homelessness. This is no longer an isolated issue; it has become a systemic and global crisis,” stated Anacláudia Rossbach, Executive Director of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), during a press conference held on the official opening of the 13th Session of the UN World Urban Forum (WUF13).
