Urban growth, driven by population increases and migration to cities, presents a global challenge for rapid and large-scale city planning, particularly in Asia and Africa, where nearly 90% of urban population growth is expected by 2050. This growth necessitates the development of inclusive, safe, and resilient cities, requiring strategic planning, infrastructure development, and solutions for housing, traffic, and environmental sustainability to accommodate billions of new urban residents.
This roundtable should discuss different strategic approaches and policies in China, GCC, and North Africa to discuss large-scale transformative urban planning programs. For this purpose, panellists will give focused input followed by a moderated discussion.
