BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 20. A small paradise has
been created in Azerbaijan's liberated areas, scriptwriter of "The
Creator" documentary film dedicated to the revival of Karabakh and
East Zangezur, chairman of the Azerbaijan Journalists Network
Public Union, Ayaz Mirzayev, said at the film presentation within
the framework of WUF13, Trend reports.
He noted that although the film is called "The Creator," the
name doesn't carry a metaphysical meaning, but rather refers to the
Azerbaijani people who create and build a city out of ruins.
According to him, the main goal of the film is to show that
Azerbaijanis are a creative people.
"We have created a small paradise in the territories liberated
from occupation in a short time and have implemented the 'Great
Return' process. People are already returning to those
territories," he explained.
Mirzayev pointed out that foreign guests who watched the film at
today's presentation were more interested in smart city
technologies, new infrastructure, and the use of solar panels.
"We also provided information about green zones, sustainable
settlements, and ecological approaches in the film, but we showed
this not as a classic presentation, but in the language of people,
through their stories," he added.
Today, the fourth day of the WUF13 conference is taking place in
Baku.
The first day included a ministerial meeting dedicated to the
New Urban Agenda, a ministerial roundtable, assemblies for women
and civil society, business sessions, and discussions on urban
prosperity. An official ceremony marking the raising of the UN and
Azerbaijani flags also took place.
The second day stood out for the inaugural Leaders' Summit,
featuring high-level discussions on the global housing crisis,
urbanization policy, and urban resilience. Concurrently, the
opening of the Mexico City pavilion took place, serving as a
significant platform for expanding cooperation with the Latin
American region and preparing for WUF14.
The third day of WUF13 featured a comprehensive program of
events covering the global housing crisis, the formation of safe
and inclusive cities, climate resilience, artificial intelligence
and urban governance, green urbanization, social equity, and
sustainable transport.
WUF13, which has attracted more than 40,000 registered
participants from 182 countries, will continue until May 22. Held
under the theme “Housing the world: Safe and resilient cities and
communities,” the forum brings together governments, international
organizations, experts, and representatives of civil society to
strengthen global cooperation in the field of sustainable urban
development.
