Flying to Baku, Azerbaijan, today to attend and speak at #WUF13 to stress that safe, affordable, climate-resilient housing is foundational to health. Looking forward to discussions about city public health leadership shaping healthier urban futures.
We are at #WUF13 with 40,000+ urban leaders to share our @FastTrackCities experience in marshaling city leadership to achieve the health-related #SDGs by 2030. @FT_HealthX
As #WUF13 prepares to open tomorrow in Baku, UN-Habitat Executive Director @AnacludiaRossb1 welcomes the world to the premier global forum on sustainable urbanization.
With 40,000+ registrations from 180+ countries, WUF13 will advance dialogue on adequate housing for all.
In his @IAPAC year-in-review blog, our President/CEO cites @FastTrackCities successes and argues that urban public health leadership is critical to the #HIV response in 2026. https://t.co/0hI2otXxNz
Did you know there are 200+ @FastTrackCities in #Europe? Four joined this month: Köln, Mannheim, Rome, and Verona. One decade into the largest urban health initiative, cities continue to see value in being part of a network prioritizing community-centered health.
Congratulations Miami Mayor-elect @EileenHigginsFL on your election. We hope Miami will soon join @MiamiDadeCounty as a member of the 600+ global @FastTrackCities network. https://t.co/lAElQ42kcP

Pre-Announcement Survey:
Can you identify which Fast-Track City will host the global biennial #FastTrackCities conference in 2026 based on two clues?
1️⃣ Known for its historic Wall that once divided East and West
2️⃣ Its reunification symbolized the end of the Cold War
Our prayers are also with the people of #Jamaica. Kingston, a member of @FastTrackCities network, has been one of our stellar examples of urban public health leadership, which will be critical in the coming days. #HurricaneMelissa
My prayers are with the people of #Jamaica tonight as Hurricane Melissa barrels towards their island. May those in the storm’s path find safety and strength in the coming hours and days.

Urban residents face a higher burden of #MentalHealth challenges, yet many cities lack the workforce to meet demand. Equity means ensuring access to care is not defined by a ZIP or postal code. @FastTrackCities
There are huge disparities globally in access to mental health workers. While some countries have 100+ per 100,000 adults; others have fewer than 10. We must scale training, lower barriers, and invest in the mental health workforce. #MentalHealth
The #HIV response has always been urgent. But what happens when that urgency is endless; when it defines how we live, work, and fight? Read my new @IAPAC blog post: https://t.co/iGJTATXxt7
The updated @HHSGov#HIV Clinical Guidelines now include a new section on cardiovascular and metabolic complications – addressing a critical dimension of long-term care. Read what’s new: https://t.co/y26sNdduZW
Our policy is not to delve into politics and instead focus on public policy. However, we are deeply concerned for our US @FastTrackCities following a remark made by President Trump yesterday: “… we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military.”
#Continuum26 presents an opportunity for @FastTrackCities network to present their research on optimizing the #HIV care continuum:
• Prevention
• Treatment
• HR-QoL
• Primary care
• Cardiometabolic health
• Implementation science
