Further to the special announcement of 21 June 2008, on the possible postponement of World Urban Forum, we are pleased to announce that the Forum will take place as previously planned from 3 November 2008 in Nanjing, China. UN-HABITAT and the host Government of China invite participants to continue registering for WUF4 online at www.unhabitat.org/wuf. Any inconvenience caused is regretted.
The United Nations has designated the first Monday in October each year as World Habitat Day. The idea is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities and the basic right to adequate shelter for all. It is also intended to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat.
In partnership with the China Real Estate Chamber of Commerce (CRECC) and the All China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC), UN-HABITAT is inviting the business community to submit best practices, technologies and business models that contribute to improving urban living through corporate responsible practices.

Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka
