Представете си, че сте изгонени от дома си без причина, и без предупреждение.
Ами ако не можете да притежавате собственост, защото сте жена?
Или пък можехте, но само в свръх тесен дом, с продънен покрив, без достъп до вода и канализация?
До 2030 г. трима от всеки пет души ще живеят в градове. Това прави урбанизацията една от най-трансформиращите тенденции на 21-ви век. Тя има огромно въздействие върху населението, икономиката, околната среда в градовете по целия свят, независимо дали те са в развити или развиващи се страни. Урбанизацията също така поставя огромно предизвикателство пред устойчивостта по отношение на жилищното настаняване. Градовете могат да бъдат източник и на двете – както на предизвикателства, така и на решения. Ако е добре планирана и управлявана, урбанизацията може да служи като мощен инструмент за устойчиво глобално развитие.
КАКВИ СА КРИТИЧНИТЕ ВЪПРОСИ ЗА ХОРАТА В ГРАДОВЕТЕ?
Право на достъп до жилище и земя за жилищни нужди: 75% от хората в света нямат подходяща документация за жилищата или земята, на която живеят. С регламентирането на право на достъп до земя за жилищни нужди, хората ще живеят без страх от изселване и ще инвестират повече в своите семейства, общности и бъдеще.
Равенство на половете: законите или обичаите в повече от половината страни по света, ограничават достъпа до собственост на земя за жени. Премахването на това ограничение има ключово значение за елиминиране на крайната бедност.
Обновяване на бедните квартали: хората се местят в градовете за да намират работа, един от всеки седем души в света живее в неправомерно застроени и пренаселени градски територии, с недостатъчна инфраструктура. До 2030 г. се очаква населението в тези територии да се удвои, достигайки 2 милиарда души. Обновяването на бедните квартали означава всеки да има достъп до достойни жилищни условия.

КАКВО ИСКАМЕ ДА НАПРАВИМ?
Да информираме европейците за глобалните нужди от устойчиво развитие и решения за достъп до жилища и земя в градовете.
Да предложим неформално обучение на заинтересовани групи по въпросите на достъпа до земя за жилищни нужди, равенството между половете, достъпа до жилище и намаляването на бедността и да покажем взаимозависимостта между Европа и глобалния Юг – развиващите се страни от Африка, Централна и Латинска Америка и Азия.
Да мотивираме европейците , че могат да допринесат за предприемане на действия за жилищно настаняване и право на достъп до земя за жилищни нужди.</p=““>
ЗАЩО ТЕМАТА ЗА ГРАДОВЕТЕ Е ТОЛКОВА ВАЖНА?
Тази безпрецедентна ера на нарастваща урбанизация има огромно въздействие върху населението, икономиката, околната среда и хуманитарните аспекти на градовете по целия свят, независимо дали са развити или развиващи се. Тази тенденция поставя и огромно предизвикателство за устойчивостта на населените места по отношение на жилищното настаняване.
ДА СЕ ОБСЪЖДАТ И ПОПУЛЯЗИРАТ ВЪПРОСИТЕ НА УРБАНИЗАЦИЯТА е цел на 14 партньора и един проект – Build Solid Ground: Изграждане на критично разбиране и активно ангажиране с устойчивото развитие, SDG 11 и Habitat III, насърчаване на глобалното жилищно развитие, правото на достъп до земя за жилищни нужди и устойчивите градове. Проектът е одобрен и финансиран по направление Развитие на образованието и повишаване на осведомеността (DEAR), Генерална дирекция „Международно сътрудничество и развитие“ на Европейската комисия (DG DEVCO). Той ще се реализира в продължение на три години до 2020 г., от структури на Habitat for Humanity International в Европа и техни партньори, в не по-малко от единадесет европейски страни: Белгия, България, Чехия, Унгария, Ирландия, Полша, Румъния, Словакия, Словения, Испания и Обединеното кралство, както и в някои страни извън Европа. https://habitat.org/emea/impact/our-campaigns/build-solid-ground и http://solidgroundcampaign.org
Държавите в света са все по-силно водени от желанието да възродят глобалния ангажимент за устойчива урбанизация:
„Да преобразим света: Дневен ред 2030 за устойчиво развитие” (Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development) е новата програма за развитие на Организацията на обединените нации, приета през септември 2015 г в Ню Йорк. В документа са формулирани 17 глобални цели за развитие и в частност, SDG 11: Устойчиви градове и общности.
Новият Градски дневен ред (The New Urban Agenda) бе приет през октомври 2016 г. в Кито, Еквадор, по време на третата глобална конференция на Обединените нации за жилищни политики и устойчиво градско развитие (Habitat III).
Градският дневен ред на ЕС (The Urban Agenda for the EU) беше приет по време на Холандското председателство на ЕС, на 30 май 2016г., с Пактът от Амстердам.
Видимостта мотивира действия , затова искаме правителствата да бъдат отговорни за ангажиментите, поети от тях с приемането на Глобалните цели за устойчиво развитие и Новия Градски дневен ред – две глобални рамки, които формират колективен план за устойчиво градско развитие в продължение на десетилетия. Искаме да информираме европейците за тези ангажименти, да ги активираме да подкрепят глобалните жилищни въпроси и да покажем как нашето социално, икономическо и екологично благополучие зависи от просперитета в останалата част на света.

ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA (6/16/2011) – Rehima Hassan preparing injera, traditional Ethiopian flat bread in the current kitchen of the compound where she lives. Habitat Ethiopia is serving families in slum areas of Addis Ababa with various water and sanitation projects. In this compound, situated in the part of the city known as „Addis Ketema Subcity, Wereda 2,“ they will be building latrines and new kitchens. The compound is home to around 19 families, approximately 100 people. There are only 3 toilets and they often overflow and become unusable because of the large number of people using them, a high water table and the difficulty of getting a truck into the small compound to remove the waste and the fact that sometimes the residents cannot even afford the service. The kitchens are unsanitary shacks and are situated within a few feet of the toilets. The traditional style of cooking low to the ground increases the dangers of the women and children getting burned and inhaling too much smoke on a daily basis. The new toilets will be solidly constructed and will be elevated above containers because of the high water table. The containers will be removable and the toilets will be situated so as to be accessible to service trucks. The new kitchens will also be solidly constructed with an elevated cooking service so the women don’t have to kneel. They will all have ventilation and places to keep the food off the ground. –(c)Habitat for Humanity/Steffan Hacker

She has lived in her home since 2013; it was built as part of the Orphans and Vulnerable Children program (OVC) at Habitat for Humanity Zambia. HFH Zambia created its OVC housing program in 2005, in order to respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic that was creating an overwhelming number of orphans. The OVC program focuses on providing appropriate, fully subsidized houses to specifically orphaned and vulnerable children under the age of 18.
