HABITAT III Youth Consultation Survey
HABITAT III is an intergovernmental process that aims to secure a renewed political commitment to sustainable urban development. It also seeks to assess accomplishments to date, address poverty and identify and address new and emerging challenges around human settlements. The UN Major Group for Children and Youth (UN MGCY) as the Major Groups mentioned in Agenda 21has been mandated by General Assembly resolution resolution 67/216 to facilitate the meaningful participation of children and youth throughout this process.

We want to hear from you! What are your priories and ideas for building sustainable and resilient cities? Please fill out the following survey of 7 questions, it only takes 5 minutes!

The collection and dissemination of this survey is facilitated by the UN MGCY. The objective is to gather information regarding young peoples' priorities for the UN HABITAT III agenda and outcome. The outcome of the survey will act as input for the UN MGCY Position Papers  on Sustainable Urban Development and Housing, which will be the basis of the advocacy of the UN MGCY during the HABITAT III process.

Some definitions of key terms:

Urban area - Location characterized by high human population density and vast human-built features in comparison to the areas surrounding it.

Rural area - Area that is located outside cities and towns.

Urbanisation - The process whereby a society changes from a rural to an urban way of life. It refers also to the gradual increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas.

Sustainable development - Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The survey is developed by the UN MGCY. Your participation and response is anonymous. We will not distribute your response to any third party.
