WUF12 will provide a significant platform for Egypt to showcase its advancements in urban development, reinforcing its position as a regional leader in comprehensive urban planning and growth strategies. The forum will feature a diverse range of participants, including government ministers from various countries, representatives from international organizations, academics, business leaders, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

Established in 2001 by the United Nations, the World Urban Forum is recognized as the second most important event on the UN agenda, following the climate summit. It serves as a vital gathering for stakeholders to exchange ideas, best practices, and innovative solutions to urban challenges. This year's forum is anticipated to stimulate discussions on sustainable urban development, drawing on Egypt’s experiences and initiatives in the field.

As urban areas continue to expand rapidly worldwide, WUF12 will focus on promoting strategies that address the complexities of urbanization, including the integration of climate change considerations into urban policy and planning. By convening a global audience of thought leaders and experts, the forum aims to foster collaboration and inspire action towards creating more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive cities.
