The People’s Committee for Our Territories calls society for the construction of a Social Forum in resistance to Habitat III, continuing the legacy of other Social Forums held before UN Habitat mega-events, such as the People’s Alternative Urban Social Forum in Medellin (April 2014), the Urban Social Forum in Naples (September 2012) and the World Assemblies of Inhabitants in Tunisia (2013 and 2015). All interested organizations are invited to take part in this process.

En Quito no hubo una batalla épica, ningún enfrentamiento callejero entre visiones opuestas del futuro del mundo. Además de algunos intentos sin éxito de reprimir el Foro Social Resistencia Hábitat 3, en la apertura del Tribunal Internacional de Desalojos y el cierre, el debate, muy duro sobre las políticas, se mantuvo a distancia.Un año después, al analizar lo sucedido durante y después de Hábitat III, la imagen es más clara: en Quito hubo un punto de inflexión, que marcó la brecha entre ONU Hábitat y la sociedad civil, separación inimaginable en Hábitat I y Hábitat II.

This time we have no illusions and we are prepared. The New Urban Agenda of Habitat III will be based on the principles of developmentalist neoliberalism at the expense of commons, of nature, of rights. Therefore the International Alliance of Inhabitants will not participate in Habitat III, we have chosen the People's Social Forum Resistance to Habitat III to build the New Inhabitants Agenda, strengthening the convergence of struggles towards the Urban and Community Way to live well on our planet.
