Editor's Notes

  • #3 We convene businesses, universities, investors, innovators and cities, so that they can work together to solve real city problems. Across our network of collaborating cities we test and develop new products and services to accelerate them to market. And by demonstrating performance-in-use and building investment cases we enable the adoption of innovations in cities around the world.
  • #5 The world is urbanising rapidly. By 2050, 70 percent of people in the world will live in cities. But much of our urban infrastructure is already running at full capacity and ageing populations, shifting economies and changing climates are all set to stretch it further.   There’s a huge opportunity to use innovative technologies and processes to solve the problem. The global integrated cities solutions market is valued at $325 billion by 2030 and there’s an estimated global infrastructure investment of $40 trillion required over the next 20 years
  • #43 Complex Problems are Related to poverty and have Multiple faces Tandale, Ilala, 200 000 people, centre of logistics delivery point for fresh foods in Dar Raining – flooding – ditches/drains don’t work – leads to food shortage, business loss, also health through public toilets and waterpoints Water points in Tandale, middle of Dar, are next to the public toilets where one leak can cause diseases for people Multiple issues together, interconnected, link with various policies, link with various stakeholders, link with attitudes Technology role
  • #44 Tandale after one month in map We know where the houses are, waterpoints and toilets are, we know where the drainage systems are (next to houses). We can also start have idea how housing progress and can update maps Technology can help us. Sustainability requires coordination of different policies (urban, health, enterprise), actors (municipal authorities, informal village authorities, businesses, people) and mindsets (if we are visible we pay taxes but require services) Mapped by 15 students in 30 days under guidance of NGO with cost less than 50k USD.
