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.
