About this listen
In this final episode of The City Show: An Unstoppable Force, we look ahead to Africa's urban future. With cities growing faster than anywhere else on Earth, the question is: what kind of urban world are we building—and for whom? Data expert George Kibala-Bauer explains why access to data will determine how cities plan and adapt. Futurist Geci Karuri-Sebina argues for innovation rooted in local realities, not imported tech models. In Dakar, architect Nzinga Biegueng Mboup shows how low-tech, locally sourced materials can redefine sustainable design. And from Harare, activist Namatai Kwekweza reminds us that Africa's young majority must have a real voice in shaping what's next. Together, they sketch out a future where technology, tradition, and youth energy could finally align to shape cities that reflect and belong to the people who live in them.
