| Event Description |
This event will discuss recent strategies in developing ‘transformation’ and OECD countries to facilitate social inclusion and to counterbalance the widening socio-spatial gap within cities. The main questions of this event are: How can deprived areas be rehabilitated and the formation of new slums be prevented? And what could be the role of local, national and international institutions to promote good urban practices and policies of inclusion? The panel, with speakers from Egypt, South Africa and Germany, along with the participants will help highlight innovations relevant to other cities, and pinpoint essential requirements for practical urban development policy.

Organization Description |
The German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) develops the guidelines and the fundamental concepts on which German development policy is based. It defines long-term strategies for German Development Cooperation and defines principles and strategies for its implementing agencies. It has for many years supported efforts for socially inclusive urban development in a number of programmes and projects.
The Cities Alliance is a coalition of cities and their development partners committed to scaling up successful approaches to poverty reduction. It brings cities together in a direct dialogue with bilateral and multilateral agencies and financial institutions. Its members promote the developmental role of local governments and help cities to obtain more coherent international support. By promoting the positive impacts of urbanisation, the Alliance helps local authorities among others to develop sustainable financing strategies for infrastructure.
