The first agreement, between UN-Habitat, the City of Paris, represented by the Executive Director of UN-Habitat and the Mayor of Paris, and the City of Nairobi, represented by the Governor of Nairobi, establishes a Social Housing Hub to connect the global North and South—advancing innovative, inclusive, and community-driven solutions to housing challenges. The second agreement, between UN-Habitat and the Government of France, sets up a Cooperation Hub focused on promoting sustainable social housing globally. It will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, capacity building, and fostering international partnerships.
