360° insight into practical African city development
City Development World Africa - targeted at providing you with insight into key areas and trends in the city development sector within the African region. 

For delegates

Africa’s cities are teeming from the consistent influx of people. Within this rapid urbanisation, there is a need for a central focus on sustainability, more energy sources, efficient city transport, urban planning, regeneration, eradicating city slums and enabling provision of low-income housing.
 
 
Why you need to be there:
  • Identify crucial mechanisms for attracting finance and investment into your city
  • Discover new financing options being applied to the affordable housing market and how to utilise these for your city
  • Build a strategy and culture of service excellence in city management and operations through the utilisation of effective leadership practices
  • Examine the demand for urban services and capacity through the inspection of public private partnerships
  • Gain deeper insight into the benefits of building with ‘green’ principles
(Africa) as a whole has much more to do to make Africa a
competitive landscape for enterprise ... access to finance and
new investment in infrastucture should come together to advance Africa’s drive to develop
Obiageli Katryn Ezekwesili, Vice President Africa Region, World Bank
