This landmark continental event aims to gather scholars, researchers, policy makers, business professionals, civil society representatives and community leaders engaged in sustainable development in Africa and beyond around the theme: “Sustainable, Smart Cities and Environment: Challenges and Perspectives in Africa”.Africa is the fastest-urbanizing continent. According to UN-Habitat (2022), more than half of its population will live in cities by 2035. This rapid urban growth presents both opportunities and pressing challenges, including informal housing, social inequalities, fragile infrastructure (water, energy, and mobility), environmental degradation, food insecurity, and heightened vulnerability to climate change.

The event’s areas of interest encompass the following topics, without limitation: digital transformation and smart technologies, social dimensions and human development, climate environment and resilience and policy governance and financing.
