Habitat Jam was a massive online event organized by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), the Government of Canada and IBM. It was held on December 1-4 2005 to help solve urgent problems of the world's cities. Habitat Jam was conceived to set the stage for the World Urban Forum 3 conference, which was held in Vancouver in June 2006. Ideas collected through the Jam were used to define themes and shape discussion topics for delegates attending the conference. Participation in Habitat Jam was open to public and private-sector organizations and individuals around the world with an interest in urban issues. == Third Session of the World Urban Forum and the role of Habitat Jam == Within the next 50 years, two-thirds of the world’s population will live in urban areas. As these cities expand, the world community faces the challenge of minimizing the growing poverty crisis and improving the urban poor's access to basic facilities, such as shelter, clean water and sanitation. World Urban Forum 3 (WUF 3) will bring together thousands of the world's best thinkers on urbanization — experts, decision makers and members of public and private institutions — to zero in on solutions to these key 21st century challenges. Recognizing that a limited number of individuals can participate in the physical conference in Vancouver, the sponsors looked for a way to engage the world in a conversation about the future of our cities. They met with IBM, and the result was Habitat Jam, which incorporated six forums focused on the following themes: *Improving the lives of people living in slums *Sustainable access to water in our cities *Environmental sustainability in our cities *Finance and governance in our cities *Safety and security in our cities *Humanity: the future of our cities 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Habitat Jam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
