The 5th World Urban Forum is the world’s leading conference on cities. The Forum was established by the United Nations to examine some of the most pressing problems facing the world today: rapid urbanization, the urban poverty and housing crisis, the urban impact on climate change, its impact on cities and how we tackle these and numerous of other issues at the dawn of this new urban age. The Forum takes place in Rio de Janeiro this week (22-25 March 2010) under the theme “The Right to the City: bridging the urban divide”. Dialogue 3: Equal access to shelter is especially related to my work in Zambia. The “price winning” picture is made by me in 2006 in the Wadi rum area in Jordan.
