Resilient Urban Environments
Cities and towns throughout Africa are projected to be home to half of Africa’s population by 2050.

Renewing Urban Landscapes in Sustainable Ways

At present, financial and capacity constraints are resulting in urban decay and sprawl in many of Africa’s cities. This is impacting the sustainability of these cities and inhabitants’ quality of life. Renewing urban landscapes in sustainable ways by, for example, deploying clean technology solutions, has the potential to unlock new economic opportunities, reduce existing infrastructure deficits and improve the conditions of citizens.
