Habitat Conferences Digital Archive

Welcome to the Habitat Conferences Digital Archive YouTube Channel, a collaboration between the School of Community and Regional Planning at the University of British Columbia and the UN Habitat III Secretariat. 

Subtitles in a wide range of languages are available for all videos. The United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (also known as Habitat '76 or Habitat I) took place in Vancouver, Canada, from May 31 to June 11 1976. This was the first international UN conference to focus exclusively on human settlements issues and solutions, and led over time to the establishment of UN-Habitat. Habitat II took place from June 3 to 14, 1996 in Istanbul, Turkey. 

U-matic tape video of the material featured here (173 presentations created by participating countries and 62 Conference sessions) is held at UBC Archives, copyright: United Nations Habitat. The physical location of additional videos is noted in each video's About section.
