Malls, Markets, and Malnutrition: Food In/Sensitive Planning in African Cities | Jane Battersby | Senior Researcher, African Centre for Cities, University of Cape Town
Jammal Lecture

Food security and urban systems governance are not widely acknowledged as falling within local government mandates in African cities. However, urban policies and planning profoundly shape urban food systems and the urban conditions that drive food insecurity and malnutrition. The state’s engagement with the food system is informed by historical policy and planning legacies overlaid with decontextualized imported ideals from the global north. This lecture presents findings from research conducted in South Africa, Kenya, Zambia and Zimbabwe to frame the impacts of existing planning on food security, but also the potential for more food sensitive planning to emerge.

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.

Nairobi has been ranked sixth in economic growth potential on the continent by the MasterCard African cities growth index while regional SMEs are set to get a boost from two private equity firms seeking to invest over 6.5 billion shillings in capital.

Urbanisation has become a defining trend of modern society. By 2050, it’s expected that more than 50% of the global population will reside in urban areas and cities. These trends pose an increasing threat and risk to the protection and sustainable use of freshwater ecosystems, such as wetlands. For decades wetlands were thought to have no “purpose” within a landscape. They can, however, provide cities with several important ecosystem services such as water purification, flood risk reduction, city cooling and recreation opportunities. In other words, wetlands are critically important ecosystems in The Cities We Want.

RAMSAR accredited wetlands enables positive publicity, not only for cities, but regions, on an international scale. There are currently over 400 RAMSAR sites and 5 RAMSAR wetland accredited cities across the African continent. Through the INTERACT-Bio project, ICLEI Africa is fortunate to be working with 3 regions in South Africa, that all have RAMSAR certified wetlands. The recognition of the importance of wetlands enables local governments to develop wetland-based socio-economic activities whilst also protecting their wetland ecosystems. This ambition supports the notion of the The Cities We Want as opposed to a scenario where wetlands are undervalued, not supporting social needs.

This session will engage local governments, scholars, wetland enthusiasts and youth representatives in a lively panel discussion on the exciting benefits of being awarded RAMSAR wetland status and also how cities can apply to the Wetland City accreditation scheme.
