      Session on October 19, 2018 "Behaviour Change for Sustainable Cities is an Urban Thinkers Campus held in partnership with the United Nations Programme for Human Settlements (UN-Habitat), under the World Urban Campaign. Urban Thinkers Campuses are action-oriented conferences aimed at building effective partnerships for localizing global frameworks, particularly the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda."
