IHD is celebrating 25 years of its founding this year. This Conference is a part of its Silver jubilee activities and events. The First edition of this Conference organized in 2015 was successful in deliberating policy and academic issues relevant for sustainable and inclusive urban development. The second edition continues this effort and aims to bring together scholars and experts to delve on the latest global urban developments, evidence and perspectives. It will provide an opportunity for sharing regional urban experiences and case studies of projects to evolve agenda for inclusive urbanization, concurrent with the efforts for Sustainable Development Goals (in particular, Goal 11: Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable).
