As the world’s urban areas grow rapidly, so do questions about how to ensure a future that is inclusive and sustainable. The New Urban Agenda is an action-oriented document adopted by the UN to help ensure collective prosperity. But at a time when national priorities are often uncertain, can the implementation of this global framework actually reach the local level and can it be done quickly enough to prevent expanding inequality and irreversible environmental harm?  

Perry World House, PennIUR, the Department of Africana Studies, and the Africana Center invite you to join us for an event featuring remarks by Dr. Aisa Kirabo Kacyira, followed by a moderated conversation with Dr. Kacyira, Anne Fadullon, and Professor Bill Burke-White.
