Québec Roadmap

The OWHC adopted the “Quebec City Roadmap” at the 16th World Congress (Quebec City, Canada, September 6-9, 2022). Launched on November 1, 2022, the “Roadmap” offers the opportunity to the members of the Organization to participate in an unprecedented experience of cooperation that will lead to the adoption of a “New Urban Project” at the 17th World Congress to be held in Cordoba (Spain) in the fall of 2024.
