Concept
The UN estimates that by 2030 some African cities will
grow by 50% and some will actually double in size. How
will Africa cope with this urban revolution?
Although urbanisation is usually associated with
rising incomes, better living standards, and improved
human development, these economic and social
advantages will not come automatically. Africa’s
rapid urbanisation is putting significant pressure on
existing infrastructure and the capacity of cities to offer
accommodation and services to all citizens. Today, 72%
of urban dwellers experience living conditions worse
than in rural areas.
To meet Africa’s infrastructure gap, $93bn of annual
investment is needed, while governments currently
spend only $45bn. Investments driven by urbanisation
will grow much faster across the continent, thus creating
scope for exceptional growth in infrastructure and
other subsectors projects. This potential is still largely
unknown to international investors and its profitable
opportunities have yet to be tapped into.
The inaugural African Urban Infrastructure Forum
held in Cape Town in 2013 was the first successful
attempt to bring together the public and private sectors
to seriously discuss urban development in Africa. The
second edition will be held in Luanda, Angola in April
2015, and will provide the opportunity to learn from the
country’s experience in tackling the challenge of rapid
urbanisation.
Jean-Pierre Elong Mbassi, Secretary General of the United Cities and
Local Governments of Africa (UCLG-A):
“The competitiveness of national economies is more and more dependent on the
competitiveness and efficacy of the local and regional economies that are driven
by cities of different natures and size. A new paradigm of development gives
a particular role to cities and local authorities as the transformation locus and
agent of African societies. From now on, African cities should take the lead in
shaping the future of the continent.”
“José Eduardo dos Santos” African Mayor Awards
The “José Eduardo dos Santos” African Mayor Awards are launched by the
UCLG-A to celebrate achievements and excellence in the development of
African cities.
The Awards acknowledge the leadership and contribution of Mayors of large,
medium and small cities across Africa during a formal ceremony and a gala
dinner chaired by President José Eduardo dos Santos in Luanda on the
30th April.
The Awards aim to raise the profile of Africa’s Mayors by honouring those
who have made an outstanding contribution to their communities and
developed a vision for urban living in Africa.
