Young Leaders for Sustainable Cities World Urban Café
To inform the debate surrounding youth leadership and development specifically as it relates to UN Habitat's workplan for the next 2 years.

At UN-Habitat’s World Urban Forum for Youth (WUFY) in June 2006, 500 youth leaders posed the following recommendations to decision-makers:
• Mainstream youth in UN-Habitat programs
• Enable youth led development for sustainable cities
• Establish a youth fund or similar mechanisms to support youth led initiatives

Youth from both developed and developing countries all agree that these are the actions required to manage the challenges of the world’s now predominantly urban population. We think they deserve to be pursued. Environmental Youth Alliance (EYA), as the organizing body for the WUFY, is spearheading an effort to follow-up on the recommendations made by youth leaders.

DIALOGUE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Questions for Youth Led Development Dialogue
A. Development
There is an underlying assumption that to be modern or developed is to be like wealthy northern or Western countries.

DIALOGUE QUESTION:If you could redefine development from a youth perspective, how would you define it?

B. Youth Leadership
Youth leadership assumes that young people are in leadership positions and
can implement and manage activities targeted towards youth.

DIALOGUE QUESTION: What does youth leadership do to enhance or multiply efforts to achieve “development”?

C. How can partners support us?
There is currently a proposal to launch a UN Habitat Youth Fund, as well as many other initiatives that are aimed at supporting “Youth Led Development.” Youth need a voice in shaping the design of the activities supported by these initiatives.

DIALOGUE QUESTION: Do you support the UN Habitat Youth Fund or concepts like it at the local, national and international levels and Why?
