Building on the Seminar held in June, the AFSCN Workshop on Urban Resilience provides an interactive platform to share your ideas and insight on how African cities, towns, and villages should tackle key challenges to build more resilient communities. Focusing on policy and strategy, the workshop was an opportunity for discussion between interested participants working in the fields of urban planning and smart sustainable cities, with a special focus on the work of local governments as drivers of change at the community level.
