In 1950, there were 228mn people living in Africa, with about 33mn in cities. Today there are 1.6bn Africans, 19% of the world’s total, of whom 670mn live in cities. Almost unnoticed, Africa has become an urban story, explains the FT's David Pilling. ft.trib.al/XZw6TGM

Very pleased to partner with Zaria Group, led by Masai Ujiri, co-founder of @GiantsOfAfrica, to help build a multi-country platform for sports and entertainment districts across #Africa. Sport is not only culture — it is also business, infrastructure, jobs, tourism, and opportunity. With greater private sector investment and professionalization, Africa can capture far more value from its sports and entertainment industries. Proud to see the @WorldBankGroup supports this vision. #ACF26

🗣️ En esta ronda de #controversiasurbanas, Kunlé Adeyemi expuso el caso de Lagos y cómo en lugar de combatir el agua podemos aprender a convivir con ella en sintonía. Desde NLÉ proponen el uso de la arquitectura flotante como desafío al cambio climático y como nuevo paradigma.

Zinkende steden in Afrika, architect Kunlé Adeyemi schiet te hulp

Afrika is niet direct een continent dat we met te veel water associëren. Toch dreigen ook hier de kuststeden binnenkort te verzuipen. Jaap Modder las het huiveringwekkende boek ‘African Water Cities’...
