This was the second World Summit of local and regional leaders, providing an opportunity for sharing and exchange between Africa and the rest of the world. Owing to the high tension of the current global context, marked by the economic crisis and the reduced resources at our disposal, we are pushed to imagine new ways to promote the development of our territories and ensure solidarity and sustainability. With this aim in mind, the Congress held debates on fostering wellbeing, managing diversity, solidarity between territories, and shaping the urban future. Documentation is available online.
