The World Urban Forum is the premier global conference on sustainable urbanization convened by UN-Habitat. It examines the most pressing issues facing he world today: rapid urbanization and its impact on communities, cities, economies, climate change and policies. WUF brings together national, regional, and local governments, academics, business leaders, urban planners and civil society.

ICID together with urban discovery with other international partners will be at UN Habitat’s World Urban Forum 12 at Cairo Egypt to share and discuss IDiscover Maps, a methodology and digital platform for subjective city mapping specific for the context of heritage districts. The purpose is to aid specific target groups – youth, elderly, women, students etc. – in fast-changing urban areas to identify what are the cultural assets that matter and co-create strategies to reimagine and revitalize those assets before it’s too late.
