The ‘UN-Habitat’s flagship reports and best practices database survey’ was carried out by the Policy Analysis Branch (PAB), Monitoring and Research Division. The purpose of the survey was to assess UN-Habitat’s efforts in raising awareness on human settlement issues through the provision of information on global urban conditions, trends and best practices/policies to Member States and the Habitat Agenda partners. The survey focused on UN-Habitat’s two flagship reports – the Global Report on Human Settlements (GRHS) and the State of the World Cities report (SWCR)
