REPORT OF THE 4TH UCLG WORLD CONGRESS
events that took place on 1st and 2nd October also feature in this publication (summaries of other side events have not been possible). UCLG was committed to facilitating the contact between those wishing to host a side event and the event organizers in order to strengthen relations and contribute to quality discussion and debate during the event. Following the Congress, work on the construction of a new road agenda that will be presented to the international community for the Post-2015 process continues. The organization has demonstrated its support for a stand-alone sustainable urbanization goal. The Congress allowed us to determine the issues that will be addressed between now and Habitat III: urban and territorial governance, urban financing, urban planning and territorial management, cities as economic development centres, and cities and culture. Your contributions on these topics are welcome. We hope that this report on the round tables, plenaries and parallel sessions in Rabat will be of interest. Lastly, on behalf of the UCLG World Secretariat, we would like to extend our special thanks to Mr. Fathallah Oulalou, Mayor of Rabat, the management and the elected representatives of the city of Rabat, all the staff and the director of Rabat 2013, the Interior Minister and particularly the Governing Director of Cooperation and Studies as well as all the other managers for their support and their commitment to the success of the Congress in Rabat.
