Dear all,

 

This is an announcement that there will be a networking event in Naples, Italy on the 3^rd September, which will bring together leading experts and institutions working in the field of sustainable housing. It is specifically oriented to the theme of local building cultures (principles, methods, application conditions, potential impacts and limits), with a specific focus on indigenous building materials and traditional building practices in the context of slum upgrading, affordable housing, and post-crisis housing.

 

The event will form part of the UN Habitat organized World Urban Forum 6, which runs from the 1^st-7^th September. As part of the networking event, The Global Network for Sustainable Housing (GNSH), managed under the UN Habitat Secretariat, will be officially launched and founding members, including INBAR, will present their work, followed by a plenary discussion on the scope and role of the GNSH in promoting sustainable housing practices globally. Individuals and organisations interested in joining the Network are encouraged to attend.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Mr. Oliver Frith
