Khankendi, Azerbaijan, October 15 (Xinhua) — Modern urban development is a key tool for sustainable development, social stability, and urban adaptation to climate change, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said in his address to participants of the 3rd National Urban Development Forum (NUFA3), which opened in Khankendi on Wednesday.
"Urban development is one of the priority areas in Azerbaijan's national development strategy," the head of state noted, emphasizing that the country's urbanization approaches contribute to economic sustainability, social well-being, and the creation of a comfortable urban environment. Particular attention is paid to the development of transport and social infrastructure, the implementation of "smart city" and "smart village" principles, and the transition to green energy, he added.
"The national urban development forums, held jointly with the UN Human Settlements Programme, are another clear demonstration of Azerbaijan's successful cooperation with international partners in this area," stated I. Aliyev.
NUFA3, which is being held under the theme "Towards Climate-Resilient and Healthy Cities: Leveraging Regional Partnerships and Innovative Solutions," will conclude on October 17 in Baku. This forum serves as a preparatory stage for the World Urban Forum (WUF13).
