By 2050, children and young people living in cities will make up the majority of the world’s population, Jonathan Some, member of the UN-Habitat Youth Advisory Board and Executive Director of “Young Africans for Sustainable Africa,” said during the opening session of the Children and Youth Assembly organized within the framework of the 13th session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13) held in Baku, APA-Economics reports.
According to him, by that time around 70% of the world’s population will live in cities, and most of those who see these cities as their homes, schools, and future workplaces will be young people.
Jonathan Some noted that for this reason, youth participation in decision-making related to urban planning and housing policy must be ensured.
“We must move from complaints to commitments, from discussions to action, and from problems to solutions,” he emphasized.
