Speaking at the forum, He urged stakeholders within the urban and built environment space to engage in effective dialogue geared towards ensuring the sustainable development of our country.

This Forum presents a unique opportunity for government, practitioners, opinion leaders, civil society, among others to begin a national discourse around sustainable urban growth, while engaging the private sector in the delivery of urban services, and more importantly, defining urban areas beyond a population threshold.
