Habitat International

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致力于研究城乡人居环境：规划、设计、生产和管理，其主要重点是发展中国家最广泛意义上的城市化。然而，发展中国家和发达国家城镇之间的相互关系和联系日益明显，迫切需要解决由此产生的问题，世界经济、社会、技术和政治体系相互交织，一个地区的变化几乎总是会影响其他地区。
