With 66% of the world’s population expected to live in cities by 2050 how will the world pay for the
increasing demand of quality urban services? In most developed countries, local governments have been the main contributors in terms of public investment for local infrastructures.

The present document, organized by the Platform with the the support
of Eva Garcia Chueca, attemps to provide a clear and easy understanding of the
right to the city in view of enriching the drafting process of the New Urban Agenda.
