UN-Habitat and their partners provide online lectures on sustainable urbanization, free of charge. The Global Urban Lectures targets international scholars and professionals who want to share their knowledge, expertise and experience with a wide audience of urban actors, comprised of universities, urban practitioners, researchers and policy makers, as well as the general public interested in cities and sustainable urbanization.
Each 15-minute video concerns a subject related to cities and urbanisation, including a short biography of the speaker, a synopsis of the session, as well as references to additional reading materials through which the viewer can expand his or her knowledge on the subject of the lecture.
The aim of the Series is to demonstrate an analysis of a given problem and issues at stake, identify propositions to address them and provide examples that demonstrate how such propositions actually work, are being tested or have been implemented.
All the videos and related materials from the Global Urban Lecture Series are available free of charge from the following links:
