Africa is undergoing its urban revolution this century. Learn more about how we aim to harness this urbanization for human prosperity by raising awareness, mobilizing resources and stakeholders, and establishing a shared model for urban development.
Africa’s Next 50 Cities Coalition (NXT50) is helping create a roadmap for what the next fifty cities built in Africa will look like. NXT50 convenes and mobilizes key stakeholders who are dedicated to harnessing Africa’s rapid urbanization for human prosperity. The coalition’s aim is to facilitate the building of thriving new cities that create jobs, foster investment and innovation, and promote human flourishing across the continent.
Africa’s rapid urbanization must be harnessed to advance human flourishing.
New, thriving cities can spring from this rapid urbanization, and kick-start inclusive and sustained economic growth.
Partnerships must be forged that leverage the strengths of the public sector, the private sector, and multilaterals to build these new cities.
New technologies and innovations must be applied to effectively finance, build, operate, and govern new cities.
Economic activities must be formalized, bankable, and de-risked via decentralized governance and a city charter.
Policy change doesn’t happen without building a coalition dedicated to reform. Africa’s Next 50 Cities Coalition will bring together diverse stakeholders, all playing a key part in getting new cities financed, built, and governed effectively.
If you are involved with a new city project, interested in pursuing one, or want to join the coalition, sign up below. If you have any questions, please reach out to Carl Peterson.
