Homelessness is a global phenomenon, in developing and developed countries alike, set to worsen through increasing urbanization. According to the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing, "Homelessness is a global human rights crisis that demands an urgent global response”. So, in the aftermath of Sustainable Development Goals and its call for “leaving no one behind”, how will homelessness and its multiple causes be addressed in urbanization? Through an open dialogue, the side-event intends to send clear recommendations for the New Urban Agenda.
