Description
Cities are complex systems, and across Africa, are growing at a rapid rate unprecedented in urban history. The agglomeration of activity offers an incredible opportunity for development. At the same time, the confluence of efforts to promote financial inclusion, urban development, infrastructure investment, and macroeconomic policy attention create a uniquely enabling environment for the growth of housing in particular. Examples of innovation can be found along each link in the housing value chain, as government, the private sector, households and communities find their places in the housing ecosystem.
