The African continent is currently in the midst of simultaneously
unfolding and highly significant demographic, economic,
technological, environmental, urban and socio-political
transitions. Africa's economic performance is promising, with
booming cities supporting growing middle classes and creating
sizable consumer markets. Despite significant overall growth, the
continent continues to suffer under very rapid urban growth
accompanied by massive urban poverty and many other social
problems. These seem to indicate that the development trajectories
followed by African nations since post-independence may not be able
to deliver on the aspirations of broad based human development and
prosperity for all. This report, therefore, argues for a bold
re-imagining of prevailing models in order to steer the ongoing
transitions towards greater sustainability based on a thorough
review of all available options. That is especially the case since
the already daunting urban challenges in Africa are now being
exacerbated by the new vulnerabilities and threats associated with
climate and environmental change.
