| International Women's Day 2013 Message by Dr. Joan Clos, Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director UN-Habitat |
|
 |
|
Today, just over half the world’s people live in urban areas and it is predicted that the number of urban dwellers will rise to 70 per cent by 2050. Cities and towns are sources of development if they are well planned and governed but when they are not they can become spaces of insecurity and conflict. The urban poor are more exposed to crime and violence than the rich, and since women make up the majority of the urban poor they are more exposed to risk.

| Address to the Second Committee by Dr. Joan Clos Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director UN-Habitat on the 67th Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations. NewYork, 1st November 2012 |
|
 |
|
The preparatory process for Habitat III will place significant demands on Member States, UN-Habitat, and the UN system as a whole. As you may know already, in late August this year, the Secretary-General designated me as the Secretary-General for Habitat III. I am confident that I can count on the support of all Member States and UN agencies in this exciting but demanding journey towards Habitat III.
