“Our African City” will form the topic of the Infrastructure Planning breakaway session at the Second Annual Vision2030 Summit in June.
Topco Media will be hosting the Vision2030 Summit on 8 and 9 June, at the Emperors Palace in Kempton Park, Johannesburg.
In June 2015 Topco Media hosted the successful inaugural Vision 2030 Summit, with the continued support of Minister in the Presidency, Jeff Radebe who has been involved in this initiative for two consecutive years and who will be opening the summit as the official keynote speaker.
“The aim of the Vision 2030 Summit is to provide a platform for members of the Presidency, key government dignitaries and private sector leaders, to share insights, engage and discuss the vision for the National Development Plan. It highlights key aspects around Vision 2030 and how key organisations and individuals can contribute to make it a reality,” said Ryland Fisher, Topco Media Editorial Director.
The moderator for this session is Seana Nkhahle, COO, South African Local Government Association (SALGA), with panellists representing leaders from Aurecon, Business Connexion and PwC, who are co-founding partners of Our African City.
Our African City (OAC) is a dialogue aimed at developing innovative solutions to the challenge of inclusive transformation of Africa’s cities. In South Africa, the dialogue recognises the Integrated Urban Development Framework (IUDF) as the policy framework within which to achieve these goals. In terms of policy, the IUDF builds upon key chapters in the NDP.
Using innovation methodologies that promote creative thinking between multiple stakeholders, the dialogue fosters collaboration across the financial, political, technical and social spheres of society. The dialogue is hosted through various platforms, including the OurAfricanCity.org website and scheduled events and workshops under the OAC brand.
Anyone interested in developing new thinking on topics related to integrated urban development is encouraged to attend this breakaway session.
