Participation
The Youth Assembly is held three days prior to the main World Urban Forum. This format provides youth with the opportunity to discuss and debate issues important to them, particularly, so that they are able to make meaningful contributions to the larger forum. The World Urban Forum takes place every two years, and last took place in 2014. The next UN-Habitat global event will be the UN Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III), taking place in Ecuador in October 2016.
