Written on
Zimbabwe is turning to global urban experts as pressure grows to deliver affordable housing. The country is using the UN World Urban Forum to study new housing policies, financing models, and city planning strategies.
Zimbabwe is participating in the 13th Session of the UN World Urban Forum in Baku, Azerbaijan, where global leaders are discussing affordable housing, sustainable cities, and urban development solutions.
The country says it hopes to learn from international best practices as it works to address housing shortages and improve urban planning systems.
The forum comes as many African nations face rising urbanisation, infrastructure strain, and growing demand for affordable housing.
