 Since the CNU-MCC's founding three years ago our membership has grown year-to-year, and so too has interest in CNU-MCC's sponsored sessions at the annual congress. Last year, for example, the CNU-MCC member led session was standing room only with people in the hallway listening to the presentations. For this reason we decided to host a pre-day event at CNU27 for Christian Caucus members who want to arrive the afternoon before CNU kicks off to engage with more CNU-MCC curated content, and for local church leaders to learn more about caring for our communities and neighbors through the lens of New Urbanism and CNU's specialized toolkit for (re)designing and building healthy, sustainable, just, and liveable cities, towns, and neighborhoods. We have put together a simple program to achieve the following goals:

As a non-legislative forum open to all, it provides the opportunity for thousands of participants involved in all aspects of urbanization to share practices and knowledge on how cities are built, planned and managed. Participants include national, regional and local government, NGOs, community based organizations, research institutions, the private sector, development finance institutions, the media, UN agencies and other stakeholders. There will be a significant Christian and faith-based programing at WUF10. Watch this space for more details. Get InvolvedCNU-MCC CONTRIBUTION EDITOR FOR THE NEW URBAN WORLD JOURNAL:
