Summary/Abstract: The UN efforts to solve the phenomenon of rapid urban globalization (that qualifies the XXIst century as”the urban century”) were materialized in several international summits on cities and on their development. Thus, the Quito Conference (2016), known as ”Habitat III” continued the states efforts to improve urban living standards, to reinforce the ”shelter for all” principle, to eradicate the urban poverty proliferation and the deterioration of environment due to inappropriate living conditions and to unsustainable urban patterns of development and consumption. As an expression of the ”Habitat III”, the New Urban Agenda claims to represent a specific tool of the 2030 Agenda, focusing on implementation at national level, of its SDG-s (creation of ”resilient, sustainable, secure, productive, inclusive cities”).
