《加强城市安全与保障 全球人类住区报告2007》分析了对城市安全和保障造成威胁的三个主要问题，分别是：城市犯罪与暴力，房屋／土地保有权缺乏保障和强制驱逐，以及自然和人为灾害。报告分析了世界范围内这些问题存在的条件和发展趋势，着力强调了它们的潜在成因及影响，并列举了在城市、国家和全球层面行之有效的政策和措施。报告从人类安全的角度出发，关注人类的安全与保障问题而非国家安全问题，而且这些问题可以通过有效的城市政策、规划、设计及治理措施得到解决。

融资城市住房提出了住房融资系统的第一次全球性的评估，将宏观经济政策的总体框架内住房和城市发展的挑战。该报告描述和分析了住房融资状况和发展趋势，在世界所有地区，包括正式的住房金融机构，小额贷款和社会资金，突出其相关贫民窟的升级。在住房金融领域近期政策变化是在国际和国家层面进行讨论。该报告还审查可以采取加强住房融资系统，特别是关于实现改善贫民窟居民生活的千年宣言目标的政策方向。

Planning and Design for Sustainable Urban Mobility argues that the development of sustainable urban transport systems requires a conceptual leap. The purpose 'transportation' and 'mobility' is to gain access to destinations, activities, services and goods. Thus access is the ultimate objective of transportation.

As a result, urban planning and design should focus on how to bring people and places together, by creating cities that focus on accessibility, rather than simply increasing the length of urban transport infrastructure or increasing the movement of people or gods. Urban form and the functionality of the city are therefore a major focus of this report, which highlights the importance of integrated land-use and transport planning.

城市与气候变化》一书审视了城市化与气候变化之间的联系、气候变化对于城市人口潜在的毁灭性 影响以及城市地区采取的应对政策和行动。全世界现在有超过半数的人口居住在城市中，城市化和气候变化的交汇有可能对经济、生活质量和社 会稳定造成前所未有的负面影响。然而，与这些威胁同时出现的还有一系列同样不可抗拒的机遇。人口、工业、基础设施以及社会和文化活动的集中，让城市成为了创新的熔炉，这些创新也包括制定出减少温室 气体排放的方法、改善应对机制、降低对气候变化影响的脆弱性等等。联合国人类住区规划署（联合国人居署）是城市问题的世界权威机构，它的这份最新报告阐述了城市 应该如何改善它们的运营方式以更好的应对气候变化，并为加强城市在解决气候变化问题上的作用提出了一些切实可行的对策。《全球人类住区报告 2011》是有关全球人类住区状况和趋势的一份最新、最权威的评估。该报告的前几期讨论的议题包括全球化世界中的城市、贫民窟的挑战、为城市住房筹措资金、加强 城市安全与保障以及规划可持续的城市等等。

Planifier et configurer une mobilité urbaine plus durable part du principe que la mise au point de systèmes de transport urbain "durables" passe par un saut conceptuel. Le "transport" et la "mobilité" ont pour objet l’accés à diverses activités et destinations, divers biens et services. Par conséquent, l’accès constitue l’objectif ultime de tout service de transport. La planification et la configuration de la forme urbaines devraient donc se concentrer sur les meilleurs moyens de rapprocher les citadins des lieux dont ils ont besoin, en privilégiant l’accesibilité, au lieu de se contenter d’allonger les infrastructures de transport ou d’augmenter les mouvements de biens et de personnes. C’est donc sur les problèmes de la forme et du bon fonctionnement de la ville que se concentre surtout le présent rapport, qui souligne toute l’importance d’une planification intégrée de l’utilisation des sols et des transports.  

Planificación y diseño de una movilidad urbana sostenible sostiene que el desarrollo de sistemas de transporte urbano sostenible requiere un salto conceptual. El objetivo del "transporte" y de la "movilidad" es acceder a los destinos, las actividades, los sevicios y los productos. Por lo tanto, el acceso es la finalidad última del transporte. En consecuencia, la planificación y el diseño urbano deberían centrarse en cómo acercar las personas y los lugares, creando ciudades que se centren en la accesibilidad en vez de aumentar simplemente la longitud de la infraestructura de transporte urbano o incrementar la circulación de personas o mercancías. La forma urbana y la funcionalidad de la ciudad, por tanto, son un aspecto importante de seste informe, que pone de relieve la improtancia de la planificacion integrada del uso del suelo y del transporte.

Cities and Climate Change reviews the linkages between urbanization and climate change, two of the greatest challenges currently facing humanity in the 21st Century, and whose effects are converging in dangerous ways. It illustrates the significant contribution of urban areas to climate change while at the same time highlighting the potentially devastating effects of climate change on urban populations. It reviews policy responses, strategies and practices that are emerging in urban areas to mitigate and adapt to climate change, as well as their potential achievements and constraints. In conclusion, the report argues that urban areas have a pivotal role in both climate change mitigation and adaptation and identifies strategies and approaches for strengthening this role.
