# Slum Development Partnerships Cordaid Urban Matters Works in Less-Industrialized Countries By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-01-13 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordaid-urban-matters References: [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/CordaidUrbanMatters) & [cordaidurbanmatters](http://www.cordaidurbanmatters.com/) It's no surprise that Cordaid Urban Matters is based in the Hague in the Netherlands. The Hague is a major meeting city for the [United Nations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-meat) and also is where dozens of international organizations are situated, for instance, the [International Criminal Court](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vocational-training) (ICC) and the [International Court of Justice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessibility-check) (World Court). The organization and social business has a similar global outlook in order to tackle slum development and create long-term solutions to urban problems. The key to the work is through partnership, partnerships with private, public and community actors and to unite all of the stakeholders involved. **Contact Information** Cordaid Urban Matters [website](http://www.cordaidurbanmatters.com/) Cordaid Urban Matters on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/CordaidUrbanMatters) Cordaid Urban Matters on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/cordaidum) Cordaid Urban Matters on [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=3621089) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Slum Partnership Collaboration:** Creating collaborative partnerships between private, public, and community actors to tackle slum development issues. - **Long-term Urban Solutions:** Developing sustainable, long-term solutions to urban problems in less-industrialized countries. - **International Urban Development:** Developing an international outlook to address urban development issues in less-industrialized countries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **International Development:** International development organizations partnering with private, public, and community actors to address urban development issues. - **Social Business:** Social businesses working on developing sustainable solutions to urban problems in less-industrialized countries. - **Non-profit:** Non-profit organizations involved in urban development partnerships to create long-term solutions to slum development issues. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Urban Design Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-making-101.md) - [Collaborative Homelessness Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homelessness-crisis.md) - [Earth Brick Arts Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bidi-bidi-performing-arts-center.md) - [Connecting Community Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utt-empower-soweto.md) - [Repurposed Community Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mooie-buurt.md) - [Earthy Community Arts Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/32-east-arts-centre.md) - [Office-Transformed Co-Living Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornerstone-project.md) - [Urban Climate Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climate-tech-cities.md) - [Elevated Miami Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcadis.md)
