WUF9 Spotlights Grassroots Voices

Noh: ‘The Grassroots Assembly gives local leaders a chance to share their experiences and trade ideas on sustainable urbanisation with stakeholders from other countries.’

KUALA LUMPUR: It has always been a platform to share ideas and views on the topic of urbanisation, but the ninth session of the World Urban Forum (WUF9) held here was the first to provide grassroots organisations with an avenue to give their input.

Called the Grassroots Assembly, it offered a space for grassroots leaders from all over the world to share their experiences in advocating the New Urban Agenda (NUA) in their cities and communities.
