GPSC African Regional Workshop – Integrated Urban Development in Africa: Challenges and Lessons Learnt
The African Development Bank and the Global Platform for Sustainable Cities (GPSC) will organize an African Regional Workshop on “Integrated Urban Development in Africa: Challenges and Lessons Learnt” on May 14-16, 2018 in Abidjan.
Africa’s urbanization rate is growing at unprecedented speed and the continent is projected to be one of the fastest urbanizing regions in the world.
The continent will embrace a 56% urbanized population by 2050 ̵– mostly driven by medium-sized cities and cities with less than 1 million inhabitants. When cities and countries encounter such urbanization and urgently need to build infrastructure, a growing number of such cities and countries have realized the importance of sustainable development, economic prosperity, and quality of life for their urban populations.
One of the main challenges that countries and cities continue to face is determining approaches to integrate sustainable development practices into the planning, financing, and implementation dimensions of their projects.

Upcoming Events
This calendar is based on information provided by COMIFAC and the Franco-German support office is considered a complementary event schedule to the official calendar posted on COMIFAC's website. (http://www.comifac.org/events). It offers a broad overview of international and regional events that are directly linked to CBFP's objectives: major conferences and meetings, workshops and training sessions and other activities scheduled by CBFP Facilitation and its member organisations.
Our choice is by no means exhaustive and depends largely on our partners' notice. Every partner organisation is thus welcome to contribute to a rich variety of posted events and to share its schedule with CBFP's Facilitation and the other members! We may also, upon request, forward your input to the COMIFAC webmaster.
