Habitat International is dedicated to the study of urban and rural human settlements: their planning, design, production and
management. Its main focus is on urbanisation in its broadest sense in the developing world. However, increasingly the interrelationships
and linkages between cities and towns in the developing and developed worlds are becoming apparent and solutions to the problems that
result are urgently required. The economic, social, technological and political systems of the world are intertwined and changes in one
region almost always affect other regions. Habitat International welcomes reports of research on urban issues such as policy
and implementation, the links between planning, building and land, finance and management, urban design, the interaction between the
natural environment and urban areas the provision of urban services and other related problems. Papers on topics which clearly have broad
implications and interrelationships based on the experiences of the developing or developed world will be considered. Submissions exploring
these issues within the development context are particularly welcomed. Quality papers, short communications, comments on published papers
and reports on relevant conferences from all parts of the world are presented as it is recognised that such urban problems arise everywhere.
Hopefully, Habitat International will contribute to their solution.
