[2022] Sustainable Cities in Africa

In African contexts, where increasing urbanisation, population growth and agglomeration tend to accentuate the human impact on climate change as well as the vulnerability of populations to it, it is necessary to ensure sustainable, resilient and circular urban development.

This need is reinforced by the publication this week of the 3rd part of the 6th IPCC report, which places Africa among the regions that will experience the strongest urban growth and which calls for a profound transformation of cities to cope with climate change and its effects.

With two months to go before the World Urban Forum in Poland, let’s meet for eMag #4 in collaboration with the FNAU, member of the Development of Sustainable African Cities Climate Chance’s Coalition, to discuss the latest news and best practices in the sustainable urban development sector in Africa.
