Shaping the Future of African Cities

Welcome to Future Cities Africa

Africa, as the last continent to urbanise and with the world's youngest population, provides a unique opportunity for developing a truly sustainable future in a way that no other part of the world can. 

Future Cities Africa is a thought leadership & knowledge exchange platform that get into the minds of city and business thought leaders who are impacting and shaping the future of African Cities. We explore major trends, projects, challenges, opportunities, actions, and innovations impacting citisens, business and cities.

We understand that Africa’s unique opportunities and challenges cannot be addressed by one sector or industry alone. The success of Africa’s future workable, livable and sustainable cities depend of the clear vision and integration of elements across many topics and sectors like digital transformation, city planning, development and architecture, healthcare, enable policies, financial models and funding, mobility, citizen centric services, digital strategies, data management and integration, data centric approaches, infrastructure and utilities management, renewable energy, sustainability, climate change, inclusivity, equitable participation & shared benefit, growing the township economy, reducing poverty and unemployment, governance and ethics, broadband connectivity for all citizens, data privacy, cyber security, drone technology, Blockchain, Internet of Things, machine learning, artificial intelligence, 5G, managing ICT and many more.

Through knowledge sharing, collaboration and owning our future we can stay engaged and build together on a prosperous and exciting future for all Africans.
