We are pleased to share that the City of Johannesburg, the Centre on African Public Spaces, UN-Habitat, and FAO are co-hosting an engaging side event: “Scaling Green Neighbourhoods into Resilient Urban Systems – Urban Forestry as Infrastructure for Integrated Settlements” at the World Urban Forum (WUF13) in Baku, Azerbaijan.
📅 Wednesday, 20 May
🕑 14:00–15:30
📍 Room C
🎤 Part of Voices from Cities
Building on the outcomes of the Second African Forum on Urban Forests (AFUF), held in Johannesburg in March, this session will bring together practitioner perspectives from Africa, Latin America, and the Arab States. The discussion will explore how green neighbourhood initiatives can be scaled into resilient, city-wide systems.
We look forward to reconnecting, exchanging insights, and advancing this important work together.
