00:00It's been another packed day here in Baku on day three of the World Urban Forum, with a steady stream
00:06of electric buses ferrying delegates and participants into the venue from right across the city.
00:12As housing, climate change, climate resilience and the future of urban living continue to dominate discussions.
00:20We spoke to Mykola Klasnik, head of the Kiev Regional Administration in Ukraine, who highlighted Azerbaijan's role in supporting reconstruction
00:28efforts and growing cooperation between communities.
00:42We have the city of ArpĂn, who are the directors of this forum today.
00:48We have a clear cooperation between partners and partners with the city of Mlachin and now we are planning to
00:53heal our children from Kiev.
00:55100 children will be able to heal this year directly from the European side.
01:01Saudi philanthropist, her royal highness Lamia bin Majid al Saud, also spoke to Euronews,
01:07calling for more bespoke housing strategies tailored to different countries and communities,
01:13warning against relying on one-size-fits-all global models that are currently used.
01:18We have to be very creative in different communities and different cities, so we don't have a one-size-fits
01:23-all.
01:24Because whatever suits in Saudi Arabia, it doesn't suit in India, it doesn't suit in Europe, it doesn't suit in
01:30America, it differs.
01:30Her comments reflect a wider shift emerging at the forum, is that the future of cities will depend not only
01:38on how quickly governments can build,
01:40but how effectively they can create resilient, sustainable and inclusive communities for generations to come.
