UN Habitat working with urban indigenous housing issues
UN-Habitat Housing and Slum Upgrading Branch, Housing Unit (www.unhabitat.org) works at the global level with issues related to
indigenous peoples’ housing, indigenous peoples’ migration to urban
areas and indigenous building knowledge. UN-Habitat is currently
establishing a global network with professionals and universities
engaging in field projects/research related to indigenous peoples in
order to look for entry points for collaboration.
We are encouraging
universities, partners and professionals working with indigenous
peoples' issues to have an active contact with each other and share
ideas, project information, research findings and news related to
indigenous peoples’ housing conditions, urbanization and indigenous
building methods. For this purpose we have created a LinkedIn group “
Urban Indigenous Issues ”. We would like to encourage your university
staff and students to join the discussion group at the following link:
