Published for UN-HABITAT by Pressgroup Holdings Europe, S.A



UN-HABITAT used the occasion of the fourth World Urban Forum in Nanjing, China to launch a new flagship magazine. The new quarterly publication, Urban World, replaced Habitat Debate as the agency moves forward with the times, with a more modern magazine for our growing global audience in this rapidly urbanizing world.

The new magazine, one of the first products of our Mid-Term Strategic and Institutional Plan (2008-2013) was born in 2008 right at the historic crossroads where the world irreversibly entered a new urban era. We know that governments and municipalities simply can no longer tackle the problems of urbanization and poverty alone. Much of the financing and much of the expertise for such change has to come from the private sector. And so the new magazine is a joint venture with a private sector company, Pressgroup Holdings Europe S.A: based in Valencia, Spain.
