BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 13. An inclusive living
model of the future is being formed in the liberated territories of
Azerbaijan, Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Agency for
Support to Non-Governmental Organizations, member of the WUF13
Organizing Committee, Aygun Aliyeva, said at the event "Cities for
all - no one left behind", Trend reports.


She noted that the large-scale reconstruction work carried out
in Azerbaijan, especially in the liberated territories, is an
example of modern and sustainable urban development. Settlements
built based on the "smart city" and "smart village" concepts in
Karabakh and East Zangezur are shaping the inclusive living model
of the future.


According to her, in this regard, Aghali village deserves
special mention.


"The 'smart village' model implemented in Aghali, along with
modern technologies, an ecological approach, and comfortable living
principles, aims to ensure that people live in a safe, accessible,
and high-quality environment. These projects show that Azerbaijan
is not only reconstructing the liberated lands, but also creating a
new and modern urban development model.


"The role of civil society institutions in this process is also
important. In this regard, the organizers of today's event, the
Azerbaijan Union of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities and
the Public Union for the Social Welfare of Citizens, deserve
special thanks. The presence of experts from different countries
here today also shows that inclusive cities are no longer a local,
but a global challenge.







Now, within the framework of WUF13, there will be ample
opportunities in this regard. I would also like to inform you that
on May 16, the Second Solidarity Forum of the Turkic member states
will be held. On May 19, for the first time in the history of WUFs
held so far, the WUF13 NGO Forum will be held. NGO organizations
from more than 100 countries will participate in the forum," he
added.


She pointed out that this year, Azerbaijan is hosting one of the
most influential urban development platforms in the world, WUF13 -
the World Urban Forum. This is an indicator of the country's
contribution to the global dialogue on sustainable urban
development, inclusiveness, and a people-centered approach.
