The Third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, “Habitat III,” will be held in Quito, Ecuador, from 17 to 20 October 2016.
Taking advantage of the presence of many Members, Friends and Allies in Quito, HIC will hold various institutional activities, including the Board meeting and the General Assembly meeting.
