Partner Constituent Groups The General Assembly of Partners is composed of 14 Partner Constituent Groups (PCG), based on the major groups, Habitat Agenda Partners and other relevant stakeholders. All Partner Constituent Groups (PCG) are involved with the advancement of new concepts, ideas and methodologies in the field of sustainable urbanization and human settlement development, especially urban planning and design, including public spaces and streets, urban transport and mobility, climate change and environment, energy, disaster risk reduction and rehabilitation, housing and slum upgrading, safety and security in cities. Each PCG brings to these concerns its members particular values, interests and perspectives. See list below (in alphabetical order). Business and Industries The Business and Industries PCG represents private sector companies and organizations and aims to stimulate the global business community through individual and shared approaches to support sustainable urbanization.
