State Of The Region's Cities Reports Series 2012-2014 (Europe)

The report series primarily aims at ministers for housing and urban development, as well as city mayors. Purposely written in clear, non-technical language and supported by graphics, case studies and limited statistical data, the reports help making often complex urban policy-related matters understandable by a wide audience. The report series is not only an essential reference for policy makers concerned with human settlements development.  Civil society at large has also taken a keen interest in the State of the African Cities 2008 report as became clear from its spontaneous, rapid and wide dissemination across Internet-based social networks. Additionally, the regional reports are rapidly becoming known in academia around the world.
