Gathering spaces at the 13th World Urban Forum in Baku.
The 13th session of the World Urban Forum was convened in Baku, Azerbaijan, in May 2026. Organized by UN-Habitat and the Government of Azerbaijan, the forum focused on housing and sustainable urban development.
UN-Habitat · WUF13 opening reportThe project description identifies 668-family seating in the forum setting. Planning for parallel meetings, exhibition activity and smaller sessions required consideration of how chairs could be arranged and stored as the room use changed.
The video collection shows rows of desks with screens and task chairs, conference-room tours, outdoor exhibition structures and a seated volunteer gathering. These are different views of the event environment, not a single standard room layout.
Prepare a schedule of spaces and seat counts, then identify which areas need writing surfaces, movable seating or connected benches. Confirm each configuration against its own dimensions and evidence. Include packing, delivery sequencing and on-site storage needs in the project brief.
