The Lao National Urban Forum (LNUF) is an annual initiative proudly organized by UN-Habitat. This forum is a pivotal event dedicated to addressing the dynamic challenges and opportunities in urban development within Lao PDR.
The mission of the LNUF is to facilitate meaningful conversations and collaborations among a diverse range of stakeholders, including government officials, urban planners, developers, representatives from civil society organizations, and international partners in order to create a shared vision for sustainable urban growth in Lao PDR. During the forum, speakers delve into critical issues such as urban planning, infrastructure development, housing solutions, environmental sustainability, and the socio-economic dimensions of urban life. The LNUF focuses on exchanging innovative ideas, sharing best practices, and formulating actionable policy recommendations. These discussions are guided by UN-Habitat’s commitment to align with national priorities and to support the global agenda set by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
The Lao National Urban Forum aims to be a catalyst for transformative change in urban development. UN-Habitat Lao PDR is honoured to lead this forum to foster a collaborative environment where every voice is heard and every idea is valued. Join us in shaping the future of urban living in Lao PDR.
