00:00Nous avons lévergé le forum techniquement et politiquement.
00:06Nous avons pu présenter des solutions concrètes et nous avons déjà créé un roadmap.
00:18Organisé par UN Habitat, le World Urban Forum a servié comme une plateforme mondiale
00:24où les villes et les pays peuvent partager connaissance, expérience et approches innovantes
00:28pour l'urban de développement, soutenir la nouvelle agenda urbaine
00:31qui est suivante à l'Union de l'Habitat en juillet.
00:35Nous avons pu construire une structure du forum qui correspond directement à notre plan de stratégie.
00:42Ce qui signifie que pour l'UN Habitat, tous les invités de l'Union d'ici,
00:46nous pouvons prendre en action, immédiatement,
00:50ce qu'on implemente notre plan de stratégie pour le 26-29.
00:53Intenses discussions et débats ont conduit à nouvelles relations,
00:55pour partager les bons pratiques, mais aussi compréhender ces lesquelles-là.
01:01Sustainabilité et équité étaient au cœur de la conférence,
01:04mais la positivité et la hope étaient au cœur.
01:07Comme vous pouvez le voir, 300 différentes partner-level events,
01:11sessions et conférences ont été organisées,
01:14along avec l'expos des pays.
01:16Ils ont donné leur concept de développement de l'urban,
01:19de développement de la ville et de l'interaction.
01:21Je pense que, à ce moment-là, nous sommes learnings de l'un des autres.
01:24C'est l'un des importants legacies,
01:26de notre culture, de notre urban agendas,
01:29et de notre ambitions pour le développement.
01:31La route to WUF 13 in Baku
01:33began during the handover from WUF 12 in Cairo.
01:37It's resulted in over 57,000 participants
01:39from 176 countries,
01:41making it the largest addition to date,
01:43and hosted over 150 ministers and deputy ministers.
01:47«Being hosted here in Baku,
01:50that's a very important signal at the global level
01:53that our cities in this region are leading,
01:57are bringing very important examples
02:00to other partners from Africa, from Latin America,
02:04from the Middle East Arab states
02:05on how urbanisation could be tackled,
02:09how the local climate action could be responded to.
02:13So, therefore, that's a very important and timely forum.
02:16Hosting the forum requires extensive preparation.
02:19Organisation to manage thousands of people at the venue
02:22was at the forefront of the construction stage
02:25and venue managers' plans,
02:26and the Urban Expo was an area
02:28where all nations were represented.
02:30Urban Expo is a 35,000 square metres area
02:33when it looks like an open city square,
02:40dynamic, modular, highly interactive.
02:43All the people, when it's going inside
02:44like to interact inside this space
02:47where the countries, companies,
02:49international organisations,
02:51businesses, academias from all over the world.
02:55Architecture of the venue was also a huge consideration,
02:58with careful thought and planning
03:00central to the decision-making.
03:01For me, functionality and workability comes first,
03:05rather than visual design,
03:07and that's why it affected in every decision we made.
03:10For example, at the planning stage,
03:13planning of the circulation and operational efficiency.
03:17After solving this planning stage of the design,
03:20we focused on the visual side of it,
03:22so it's well-balanced and it's well-composed
03:25and looks clear from the outside.
03:28From thematic strands and expert dialogues
03:31to new initiatives,
03:32the 13th session of the World Urban Forum
03:35here in Baku was designed to foster collaboration
03:38and exchange practical ideas.
03:41It brought together policymakers,
03:43planners and urban specialists from across the globe
03:45to scrutinise the complex challenges
03:48facing cities today.
03:50Convened by UN Habitat
03:52and co-hosted by the Government of Azerbaijan,
03:55WUF 13 featured more than 580 sessions
03:58and an urban expo that recorded over 74,000 visits,
04:02an incredible achievement.
04:03but now it's time to hand over the baton
04:06for the 14th session of the World Urban Forum
04:08which will take place in 2028.
04:11The destination, Mexico City.
04:13I came to see a lot of this forum
04:19to provide the best conditions
04:23in the City of Mexico
04:24and that we can get ahead
04:27with a forum that has a very good coordination
04:31that has a good support to the participants
04:34and that we can take advantage
04:37because, look, here came representatives
04:40of all the world through oceans.
04:43For Azerbaijan,
04:45there's no doubt
04:46that the privilege of hosting a world-class event
04:48will change how we live in the future.
04:50It's a chapter that's not ended.
04:52In fact,
04:53it appears to be the beginning
04:54of an exciting new era.
