It is the focal point for urbanization and human settlement matters within the UN system. The Agency also contributes to national and local governments in laying the foundation for sustainable urban development. UN-Habitat envisions well-planned, well-governed, and efficient cities and other human settlements, with adequate housing, infrastructure, universal access to employment and essential services such as water, energy and sanitation. To achieve these goals, UN-Habitat has adopted the Strategic Plan (2020–2023) which repositions UN-Habitat as a major global entity and a centre of excellence and innovation.

The LHSS, within the Urban Practices Branch of UN-Habitat, hosts the secretariat of the GLTN, which is a network of over 80 international institutions that was established in 2006 and since then, has been working to promote secure land and property rights for all, through the development of pro-poor fit-for-purpose and gender-responsive land tools within the continuum of land rights approach. Since 2012, GLTN has started working at the country level to test and implement developed land tools and approaches, contribute to land policy development and implementation, and undertake capacity development initiatives and awareness and knowledge-building initiatives in collaboration with government authorities and partners. In 2019, Phase 3 of the GLTN programme commenced with an overall goal of improving tenure security for women, youth, and vulnerable groups.
