🏠 Introducing Dialogue 4 at #WUF13. From floods to extreme heat, millions of people, especially the most vulnerable, are increasingly exposed to climate risks. 👉 Join us at the World Urban Forum this month to discuss solutions to the largest urban challenges: wuf.unhabitat.org/wuf13
A true home is not measured in square metres. But in connection. A building without a community is just a shell. To build a home, we must stop building just units. We must build the nervous system of the neighbourhood: the paths, the parks, the lights, and the meeting points.
In DAY 1 of the World Urban Forum, discussions focused on moving beyond "token representation" to concrete action.
Home should be a sanctuary: a safe place to grow, learn, and breathe clean air. Yet, 1 billion live in slums, often in flood zones or heat traps. Climate change worsens this, displacing millions into precarious housing where safety is a luxury, not a guarantee. #ClimateJustice #HousingRights
When we think about making cities inclusive, public toilets rarely top the list. Yet these essential facilities are perhaps one of the most fundamental – and often overlooked – infrastructure investments cities can make. Featuring architect and urbanist Safaa Charafi.

Between 50% and 80% of people in low- and middle-income countries cannot access formal housing finance. At the same time, the global financing gap for adequate housing is estimated at US$16 trillion. 👉 Join us to discuss solutions to the largest urban challenges: lnkd.in/eBAH9Hc6
To build true homes, we must weave the narrative of the community into the buildings. - Preserve the intangible: sounds, smells & stories. - Celebrate the local: local materials, local artisans & local history. - Invite the community: let them co-create the murals, the gardens, the festivals.
🏠 Introducing Dialogue 1 at #WUF13: The global housing crisis: what is the plan? Across the world, 2.8 billion people still lack access to adequate housing. Addressing this crisis requires bold ideas, coordinated action and global dialogue.

$1 billion taxpayer dollars for Trump's ballroom. The Epstein files. Attacks on voting rights and civil liberties. Judiciary Republicans have ignored it all, and instead held a hearing to peddle Islamophobic conspiracy theories. Shame.
This #AAPIHeritageMonth, we're celebrating AAPI communities and amplifying the health disparities that deserve our attention year-round.
For Taichung I went to see the "Rainbow Village", a series of houses painted by late Huang Yung-Fu, born 1924. He was from Guandong, a soldier with the republican government, and arrived to Taiwan during the retreat. The housing was the camp for such refugees as him, turned permanent residency.
This clip is NOT from 2008 it's from 2026 but you'd never know it. Hannity was ranting about Barack Obama after the former president opened his library in Chicago. If he could have worked in Hillary's emails he would have! Bleach Bit and private servers!
Boy vs Man. The clear difference between an immature idiot and a real man... One destroys... the other provides solutions.👇🏼

1 of 2 @kim.senate.gov did you cut a deal w/ICE that led community members to break the line, allowing ICE vehicles to leave DH. It’s unclear if hunger strikers were in the vans. Earlier ICE tear gassed a🇺🇸citizen; Kim stood by approaching her later for a photo op. @nytimes.com @reuters.com

It’s been a few hours and there is slobbery balls of this everywhere 😂 like chewing gum she spits it out after a bit. I’m glad she isn’t swallowing it all. It’s really not great for dogs. But look how happy she is 🥰
”Protection officers see people do immoral things – Royals or politicians having affairs – but they’re not the moral police.” Questions continue around what MET officers witnessed when protecting Andrew. Is it an ‘astonishing’ claim to say they saw nothing?

7 consecutive hitters have been walked just 2x in MLB since 1920. Pirates did it in 1983 in Atlanta the last time it happened. Bob Walk told a great story on the radio about talking to Jim Winn when both were in AAA Hawaii in 1984. Jim Bibby had started the game, & Winn had relieved: #LetsGoBucs

Around 100,000 gay and bisexual men were arrested in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945. Thousands were sent to concentration camps. Many never came home. Trans people and lesbian and bisexual women were also persecuted, but their experience has been documented to a lesser extent.

She stood there quietly, and somehow my heart felt louder. Dolls have been used across cultures for centuries as symbols of protection, memory, and storytelling, far beyond simple toys. Sometimes the smallest figures carry the biggest reminders of comfort and care. #KayKayLe #Affiliate
7/ The drive to SPIEF conference has been made more interesting by Ukraine's intervention. So we know the port has been hit but also the refinery, the largest complex in NW Russia. The Governor reported 30 drones were shot down - does he mean intercepted by the refinery/port?
