The Forum consisted of dialogues among partners on urban culture, urban realities, urban governance and urban renaissance, as well as thematic discussions on urban poverty, urban resources, urban sustainability, urban services, and urban disasters and reconstruction.

There were three plenary meetings, partners' dialogues on urban culture, urban realities, urban governance and urban renaissance, as well as thematic dialogues on urban poor, urban resources, urban sustainability, urban services and urban disasters and reconstruction.

Women's micro credit groups, in particular, have excellent credit histories with financial institutions, proving that the urban poor can be reliable in their dealings with banks.

In the Water for Asian Cities Programme, the UN Habitat partnership with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is expected to bring in 500 million in investment in five Asian cities.
