It aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the New Urban Agenda, which focus on building more inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities\u200b.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more about the MyNeighbourhood framework <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/unhabitat.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2023\/05\/my_neighbourhood_publication_19.05.2359.pdf\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the framework\u2019s key strengths is its multidimensional approach. It connects various aspects of urban life\u2014such as transport, housing, public spaces, and social networks\u2014across different spatial scales, from the neighbourhood level to city-wide systems. This ensures that no area is overlooked, and that urban planning initiatives address not just infrastructure but also social, economic, and environmental dimensions\u200b.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e24743 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4e24743\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"688\" height=\"918\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Picture4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18132\" alt=\"Neighbourhood walk with children from \u201cSouth City\u201d community, 19.08.2024 (c) UN-Habitat\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Picture4.jpg 688w, https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Picture4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Picture4-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Neighbourhood walk with children from \u201cSouth City\u201d community, 19.08.2024 (c) UN-Habitat<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f27c43b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"f27c43b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dde409f exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"dde409f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe44719 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fe44719\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Addressing Division and Promoting Unity<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the key highlights of the conference was its focus on Belfast\u2019s unique challenges\u2014particularly the longstanding physical, political, and social divisions between its communities.

The workshop aimed to foster unity by bringing children together to reimagine and improve their shared environment around peace walls that have long divided their neighbourhoods.<\/p><p>The young participants engaged in activities that challenged them to think critically about their urban spaces\u2014what they liked, what felt unsafe, and how they would redesign these spaces. Using everything from emoji stickers to 3D playdough models, the children showcased their vision of safer, more inclusive neighbourhoods. This engagement highlights how even the youngest members of society can contribute to urban innovation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-092a244 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"092a244\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7622e2b exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"7622e2b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24528b1 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"24528b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"530\" height=\"707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Picture7.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18141\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Picture7.jpg 530w, https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Picture7-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Picture7-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Workshop exercise with children at \u201cGrovesnor\u201d Community Centre, 20.08.2024 (c) UN-Habitat<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1b74251 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"1b74251\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6920f92 exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"6920f92\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-381a072 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"381a072\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Lessons for Activists and Professionals<\/strong><\/p><p>The lessons from the workshop are profound for young professionals and activists.
