Returning to the African continent after more than 20 years
WUF12 serves to confront sustainable urban development complexities head-on being more than just a forum; but a dynamic collective process that encourages discussions and critical discourse on urban development. The forum will provide an opportunity to delve profoundly and critically into the challenges, opportunities, and potential directions for our urban world, emphasizing the need to dissolve the barrier between local and global and weave them into a transformative discussion.
WUF12 aims to push boundaries and spark transformative action to achieve sustainable urbanization ambitiously and authentically, fostering a much-needed space for radical and transformative conversations. The Forum has a focus on initiatives and interventions which showcase concrete, tangible, and positive impact.
