To enable it to respond to the challenges and opportunities of 21st Century cities and human settlement in a more holistic way, and to address one of the most significant areas of need in developing countries; UN Habitat has adopted a more strategic and integrated approach that is more systematic, going beyond addressing only the symptoms of malfunctioning urbanization.
