Back in October 2023, an event dedicated to World Habitat Day was held for the first time in Baku within the Azerbaijan Urban Week, organized jointly by the State Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture of Azerbaijan and the UN Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat).

The event consisted of two sessions and plenary meetings on various topics, and was attended by government officials, experts, media representatives from Azerbaijan and foreign countries.

In September 2023, Azerbaijan signed a document to allocate $1 million to the UN Human Settlements Program.
