    Lets build our capacity to bridge the gaps in urban humanitarian


    The worlds population is over 50% urban; by 2030 it is expected to reach 60%. Aid agencies in recent
    urban emergencies have often lacked the ability to respond effectively in these environments. Urban

    increase and the worlds growing population are increasingly located in urban environments.

    Urban Humanitarianism to ensure we as a sector respond more effectively to the
    increasing number of urban disasters.
