In today’s urbanizing world, the issues at stake in cities are numerous and
complex. UN-HABITAT has been addressing them over the past 30 years
by publishing a wide range of information material for researchers, decision
makers in central and local governments, and civil society organizations including
those at the grass-root level.

This catalogue features over 150 key publications, arranged by theme with their
respective bibliographic data and abstracts. Also included are all backlist titles, titles
available in electronic format on our online catalogue at www.unhabitat.org, and
titles in official United Nations Languages other than English. The catalogue also
gives a flavour of forthcoming publications on page 3 of the catalogue.
