Bottom-up Action for Just Urban Development

"Cities for All: Bottom-up action for just urban development", is an opportunity to discuss how Global South city dwellers shape urban development by collaborating with local governments, civil society, and grassroots movements to make sure local voices inform policies, plans, and investments.

This session explores how city dwellers from the Global South can voice their needs, offer their knowledge, contribute their solutions and become active agents in their cities’ and neighbourhoods' development. It is taking stock of best practice examples for collaboration between city administrations, civil society, and citizen movements.

Speakers: Joseph Kimani, Director SDI Kenya; Paula Sevilla Nunez, Researcher at IIED; Naomi Flomo, Abijay and George, Federation of Liberia Urban Poor Savers (FOLUPS)

This event was co-organized by GIZ and Slum Dwellers International, as part of the Daring Cities Virtual Forum 2024.
