President’s seminar series – “Distinguished Women Researchers in the Built Environment” - Kathy Michell

Cities across the globe are facing rapid urbanisation and are expected to be at the frontline of addressing issues of global sustainability. More specifically, African cities in the main are characterised by multiple forms of poverty, growing inequality, environmental degradation, slums and informal settlements, social and economic exclusion, and spatial segregation.In this regard, sustainable development and management may be seen to be the defining challenge of the 21st Century. The Habitat III – New Urban Agenda makes significant strides in providing policies and strategies for sustainable urban development and management but fails to articulate their actual implementation. More often than not these policies also fail to articulate how the sustainable developments are to be managed and more importantly, do not require built environment professionals to be cognizant of the management of property and urban precincts in the development phases of projects. In addition, the 4IR is sometimes punted as the panacea to Africa’s problems. More specifically, the integration of technology (smart city concept) is touted as having the potential to turbo-charge the sustainable development and management of cities across thecontinent. Is this a possible reality for African cities or is it a pipe dream?The objective of this talk is to unpack the challenges faced in African cities and to discuss ongoing research in the pursuit of sustainable urban development and management.

Opportunities for African Cities to Meet Their Transport and Urban Planning Needs in a Greener, More Sustainable Way

African cities are the most rapidly growing and youngest cities in the world, and they’re changing fast. This offers immense opportunities as well as challenges for urban planning to meet the needs of the people and the economic growth, alongside meeting the urgent progress needed to address climate change. This session looks at the opportunities in urban and transport planning for African cities – considering trends such as transit-oriented development (TOD), where people live closer to jobs and services reducing time and environmental burden on transport and boosting economic growth.

Chair
Heather Thompson | Institute for Transportation and Development Policy, CEO

Speakers
Chris Kost | ITDP, Director Africa
Paul Curtis | Vectos, Director
Gail Jennings | World Bicycle Relief, Consultant

By 2050, African cities are expected to be home to an additional billion people. This dramatic growth is expected to pose challenges to governments, the private sector and individuals, but it also presents immense opportunities to service and engage with a young, growing, increasingly digital population that will be key to the continent’s economic transformation.

Digital technologies, such as IoT, have a critical role to play and enable the development of smart cities that are improving everyday life to make them more liveable, sustainable, and resilient. Digital innovation in cities is also unlocking access to new financing instruments, which are critical for cities to overcome the huge investment gap needed to confront climate change and fulfil the SDG agenda.

At MWC Kigali 2023, on 18 October, we hosted a session, in collaboration with the Ministry of ICT in Rwanda, that brought together private sector innovators, city leaders, funders, mobile operators, and enabling organisations to discuss the role of technology and innovative financing in advancing inclusive climate-resilient urban development.

This is the recording of that session.

Water for African Cities Programme facilitates the adoption of measures to ensure access to environmentally sound water and sanitation service provision to the un-served, as well as improved access for underserved populations of the target cities. Through demonstration projects and capacity building interventions carried out in collaboration with national partners, regional and international financial institutions, the programme supports water supply and sanitation utilities, local governments, NGOs and communities to leverage resources for scaling up and replication at the country level.

Nigerian cities like Abuja and Lagos are amongst the best Cities to live in Africa. Nigerian Cities are amazing and very affordable compared to other cities in Africa. Nigeria cities are better to live in compared to South African cities. South Africa has the most beautiful cities in Africa but it’s too expensive compared to Nigerian cities

African cities are amongst the fastest growing in the world, with a projected growth rate of 2.5-3.5% per year between 2015 and 2055 (White et al, 2017). The growing population and the rapid urbanisation across the content is having detrimental impacts on the natural environment, which the majority of the continent still rely on heavily. The continued loss and degradation of natural assets and ecosystems across the continent, comes with direct and indirect environmental, economic and social costs. There are, however, opportunities to ensure that African cities develop in harmony with nature, whilst also protecting people and economies. Many African cities are looking to move towards adopting practices that restore and protect the natural environment, without compromising tangible environmental, economic and social benefits. This webinar looks at how cities in Africa are responding to the urgent call by António Guterres (UN Secretary General) to reconcile with nature and to show ambition, stop the assault on our planet, and do what we need to do to guarantee the future of next generations.

Much has been written about the economic potential of and opportunities for business in Africa. Headline forecasts indicate continued strong growth in many African national economies, notwithstanding the substantial risks involved. But this potential and the market opportunities are rarely quantified at city level – outside of this service - despite Africa being the fastest urbanising region. In Africa, more than any other continent, national and city economic metrics are poles apart as increasingly sophisticated urban economies differ markedly from agricultural, rural economies. National data vastly under-estimates urban economic potential and urban wealth and consumer spend patterns and is less appropriate for assessments of urban business opportunities in Africa.
The combined footprint of the 102 cities across the 49 countries covered by Oxford Economics’ African Cities Forecast Service is impressive: 190 million population, almost US$1 trillion of GDP, 18 million middle and high income households and US$500 billion worth of consumer spending. Even more impressive is the aggregate growth of these 102 cities to 2030: 110 million increase in population, 22 million more middle and high income households, a more than doubling in the level of consumer spending and annual average GDP growth in excess of 5%. Oxford Economics’ African Cities Forecast Service can help business navigate what opportunities urbanisation across the continent will create.
This is the second full year of the service, with Oxford Economics having launched the African Cities Forecast Service towards the end of 2013. In addition to adding new cities and countries, adding a variable for retail sales and linking to the latest African and global macro outlooks, one of the key features of the latest update is incorporating the impact of massive revisions to GDP in some of Africa’s major economies, notably Nigeria and Kenya. The revisions, a result of long overdue rebasing, improvement in methods and better measurement of urban sectors like financial services, telecommunications and creative industries, has transformed the economic footprint of a number cities. It has also altered the rankings of Africa’s cities. Nigerian and Kenyan cities are amongst the big upward movers into and within Africa’s top 20 opportunity cities. The estimated size of Lagos’ economy, in GDP terms, has been revised up by around 175%. Nairobi’s economy is now a quarter larger as a result of national revisions to GDP. In the latest forecasts, Lagos is forecast to be Africa’s largest urban economy in 2030, ahead of Johannesburg.
