Summary

By 2030, Africa is expected to have 2 billion inhabitants, more than half of them in cities. The future of African urban centers is therefore a major challenge, particularly because of their economic, social and climate change vulnerability. The scenario is complex: demographic explosion, increased mobility needs, construction of the city mainly in the informal sector, urban sprawl, poverty, health risks, etc. It is therefore urgent to gather around the table all the actors of the city, the local authorities, but also economic operators, including developers who carry projects of sustainable cities in Africa, donors, associations, researchers, etc. to draw a common road map adapted to the needs of the African continent.
