Future Cities Africa Outputs
Feasibility Study
As part of Future Cities Africa, all participating cities carried out Rapid City Resilience Assessments (RCRAs) to identify their resilience challenges and to prioritise areas for action. The Feasibility Study synthesizes all of the RCRAs and an overview of the state of urbanisation in Africa, pointing out key challenges and entry points for achieving inclusive and resilient urban growth.
