The Challenges and Opportunities of Urbanization
Cities, as the physical locus of government and the economy, offer immense development potential as centers of economic opportunity, technology, and the exchange of ideas. As a result, urban areas in the developing world have grown exponentially in recent years. For many developing countries, however, there are several obstacles to overcome before cities can become truly investor-ready. Join us for a discussion on ways to foster policy and regulatory frameworks that enable cities in developing countries to strengthen governance, improve infrastructure, and provide equitable delivery of services in order to evolve into cities of opportunity. This event is held in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers, which recently published a collection of work on the multifaceted nature of urbanization challenges and the importance of addressing urbanization issues as part of the broader development agenda.
