The Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC) generously allocated the last session of the Commonwealth Business Forum to sustainable urbanisation through a 10-minute segment, dedicated to the Call to action on sustainable urbanisation across the Commonwealth.
The segment was presented by Bernard Wagner, the Mayor of Belize, and Astrid Haas, Urban Economist, formerly with International Growth Centre and the African Development Bank.
Their presentation emphasised the importance of partnership with the private sector in ensuring liveable cities and communities for all and was followed by a panel discussion, which included Maimunah Mohd Sharif, the Executive Director of UN Habitat, together with representatives from South Bridge Investments, the Rwanda Space Agency, the International Finance Corporation and Diamond Developers (UAE)
