Tomorrow's Cities, Today's Youth: Perspectives from UN World Youth Forum

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The cities of tomorrow are in poor countries, where the largest proportion of the population is below 25 years old and where young women are becoming particularly vulnerable. It is youth who will inherit not only the riches of the city but its problems as well, unless something is done to resolve them today. It is this that prompted the UN HABITAT in cooperation with the Environmental Youth Alliance, Canada to organise the World Youth Forum (WYF) three days prior to the WUF III in Vancouver.
