00:30The Azerbaijan National Urban Forum brought together around 400 participants from 64 countries,

00:37among them representatives from public, private and academic institutions, as well as civil society.

00:44The main topic of discussion was how to create climate-resilient and healthy cities

00:49through regional partnerships and innovative solutions.

00:52We started and continue our cooperation with international partners, especially planning agencies.

01:02And that helps us to follow global trends, global standards.

01:08And also it helps because each of international companies working in Azerbaijan

01:14always cooperate with at least one, in most of the cases, with few Azerbaijani architects.

01:22So national professional capacity is growing.

01:27As urban areas around the world face growing climate challenges and public health concerns,

01:34this forum has served as a crucial platform to explore how innovation and cooperation

01:39can help us build cities that are more resilient, more livable and more equitable for all.

01:46It was after the sustainable development goals that it met those goals.

01:51So sustainability means, as well, innovative education.

01:56And when it comes to education, we wanted children to have the best circumstances they could have

02:02to have a good education.

02:04Azerbaijan is actively aligning its urbanization policy with international standards.

02:10Large-scale restoration and construction efforts are underway in the Karabakh and East Zangazor economic regions,

02:18former conflict areas, applying smart city and smart village concepts.

02:23There are the easy ways of preserving heritage by, you know, just keeping it as it is, securing it,

02:30making it a monument, a museum for people to watch.

02:34But ideally, we would reconstruct the building, we would put it back to use, we would adapt it.

02:40Every case is very specific, especially in the sensitive areas.

02:43For Azerbaijan, the National Urban Forum is both a starting point and a road to a larger journey,

02:50the 13th World Urban Forum.

02:53This will focus on some of the most pressing urban challenges of our time,

02:58from housing affordability and urban resilience to social inclusion.

03:03There are more than 3 billion people globally without access to adequate housing.

03:08Speaking about healthy cities, we're definitely considering the issue of housing.

03:15And I'm sure we will continue, we'll be able to continue this discussion on the World Urban Forum.

03:21Urban Forum is about future, young people are also about future.

03:24And that's why probably one of the main topics in the World Urban Forum,

03:29which will be in Azerbaijan next year, is about young generation and young people.

03:36More than half of the world's population already live in cities.

03:40And the UN predicts this number will reach 68% by 2050.

03:46Urbanization dynamics is very intense, especially in the regions like Africa and Southeast Asia.

03:55So this grows from 50% to almost 70% urban.

04:00We will have its heaviest impact in these two regions.

04:04This means almost 2 billion people coming to cities in the next two decades or so.

04:13The UN Habitat recommends several key actions to improve urban life,

04:17such as integrated urban planning, access to basic services and adequate housing,

04:23and stronger urban resilience and climate action.

04:26We created visions, but those visions need to be realized.

04:29And here the collaboration from international with us to the locals is very important.

04:37Master plans and innovative projects are shaping a more sustainable and inclusive urban future across the region.

04:44The UN and Azerbaijan are working closely in a highly collaborative and co-creational way.

04:50Together they are committed to making this event more impactful, more effective and truly different.

04:55And here the UN and Azerbaijan are making this event more impactful,
