In early November 2008, Homeless International attended the World Urban Forum (WUF) in Nanjing, China.  This is a large conference organised by UN-Habitat that takes place every two years and focuses specifically on the growth of cities and towns across the world and the challenges and opportunities that this growth presents.  It is the main global networking event for those organisations, donors, academics, government agencies and individuals who work in the areas of slum poverty and urban development and is an important platform for Homeless International to share the work we do and learn from others.  This...http://www.homeless-international.org/redirect.aspx?module=0&id=0:38239&tid=rsshttp://www.homeless-international.org/redirect.aspx?module=0&id=0:38239&tid=rssFri, 05 Dec 2008 12:30:54 GMThttp://www.homeless-international.org/redirect.aspx?module=3&doc=1:27823&tid=rsshttp://www.homeless-international.org/redirect.aspx?module=3&doc=1:27823&tid=rssWed, 30 Jul 2008 00:08:49 GMTThe Urban Poverty Group is a network of NGOs, university departments and consultants in the UK with a shared commitment to addressing the challenges of urban poverty worldwide.http://www.homeless-international.org/redirect.aspx?module=3&doc=1:27990&tid=rsshttp://www.homeless-international.org/redirect.aspx?module=3&doc=1:27990&tid=rsshttp://www.homeless-international.org/doc_images/DPUlogo.gifhttp://www.homeless-international.org/redirect.aspx?module=3&doc=1:27990&tid=rss15565Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:00:03 GMT Working with universities forms part of our advocacy work. We want to make sure that the architects, planners and other professionals who will be working in urban development in the future have information about the kind of work that we and our partners do. We want to make sure that they have a chance to explore and discuss the principles that lie behind it and to appreciate the massive expertise that exists within communities with few physical assets. Working with universities also helps us to clarify the way we present things and sometimes we are really kept on our toes by the questions asked and the issues raised. Homeless International has a long-standing relationship with the Development Planning Unit (DPU) of University College, London.  DPU was one of the founder organisations of Homeless International and has always had a representative on our Council of Management. Caren Levy, our Deputy Chair, is Director...http://www.homeless-international.org/redirect.aspx?module=0&id=1:30374&tid=rsshttp://www.homeless-international.org/redirect.aspx?module=0&id=1:30374&tid=rssMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT
