SEMARANG: An Indonesian delegation will propose a housing
concept for victims of wars and conflict during the United
Nations Habitat Forum in Nairobi, Kenya, from May 5 to May 9.

"We will also present a paper on a housing concept for victims
of natural disasters and on housing as an instrument to create
sociocultural solidarity among urban people," a member of the 11-
members delegation, Eko Budihardjo, said on Tuesday.

Eko, who is also the rector of Diponegoro University in
