The United Nations (UN) Habitat, the UN agency for human settlements and urbanization, is encouraging local governments around the world in the annual Urban October, a global platform where individuals, organizations, and governments can discuss ways to address the challenges of urbanization. For 2015, the Urban October starts on October 5 in time for the World Habitat Day and ends on October 31 in time for the World Cities Day.

The LCP is proud to take part in this global campaign. In particular, the LCP Secretariat is encouraging its cities to participate in the street photography contest, titled Our City, Our Space, in social media.
