The pandemic might have put a temporary damper on the bustling city life, but it also handed us a golden ticket— a push towards greener, healthier, inclusive and more sustainable city centres.
In recent years, the global push towards sustainability and environmental consciousness has become increasingly vital, with cities worldwide striving to adopt eco-friendly practices.
Africa’s urban centres are emerging as pioneers in embracing eco-friendly practices, championing green initiatives, and fostering a harmonious relationship between urbanization and nature.
