Advancing Resilient Housing & Sustainable Construction in Africa's Informal Settlements | Thursday 5 September @ 5:30pm EAT, Room AUF3 Affordable, resilient housing is critical for the future of African cities. As we've already heard today from one speaker after another, African cities will need to accommodate up to 800 million new inhabitants between now and 2050. This will not only require significant resources, but significant and critical shifts in housing systems, policies and programs. Join us at the first inaugural #AfricaUrbanForum to discuss solutions and strategies to increase access to resilient, affordable housing for Africa's urban poor.

Africa’s housing deficit–both qualitative and quantitative–is severe, with 60-90% of the population living in informal, substandard housing. Africa’s population is estimated to reach 3 billion by 2050 and 80% of the buildings that will exist in the region by that time are yet to be built. Of these, nearly 90% will be residential. Considering that 50% of the most climate vulnerable countries worldwide are in Africa, these homes MUST be climate and disaster resilient--and constructed using resilient materials and methods--if we have any hope of meeting climate change targets and saving lives. Governments and other stakeholders need significant financial, technical and policy support to meaningfully address the needs of billions of Africans for safe, adequate housing. Solutions exist, but must be supported with adequate financing and policy frameworks to reach the scale required to effect transformative change. #ResilientHousing #Housing4All #AdequateHousing4All

Africa is driving global urbanization 📈 But as urbanization in Africa accelerates, so does the demand for housing.

With cities growing rapidly, it's crucial to address the housing squeeze such as in improving housing supply, access to financing, and housebuilding innovation to ensure access to affordable, safe housing for all. #Housing #HousingForAll #HousingAffordability #Africa #Urbanization (source: https://loom.ly/6DS-AO0)

Infrastructure development plays a critical role in catalyzing real estate growth. Let's delve into some of the advantages linked with infrastructure advancement. 🛣️ Enhanced infrastructure like roads, bridges, and public transportation systems improves access to various areas, thereby boosting the appeal of locations for real estate development. This heightened accessibility drives up demand for both commercial and residential properties. 🏙️The rapid urbanization and population growth in Kenya are fueling the need for housing and commercial properties. When supported by sufficient infrastructure, cities thrive, creating optimal conditions for successful real estate investments! 💰 Areas with well-developed infrastructure tend to experience higher property value appreciation. Investors are more likely to invest in areas with good roads, water supply, electricity, and other amenities, anticipating higher returns on their investments over time. #Redfa #Realestatedevelopment.
