Poland is holding its National Urban Forum on Friday to discuss planned steps to promote sustainable development and outline new policies, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the conference will be an all-online experience.

During the event, officials are expected to discuss preparations for the 11th World Urban Forum, a major global conference on urban development that is due to take place in the southern Polish city of Katowice in 2022.
