The world and the African continent are rapidly urbanizing, and this brings pressure on resources including energy, water, food, transit, housing, and more. At the same time, climate change seems to be causing more severe instances of perils including drought, flooding, extreme heat, and wildfire. How can future cities and economies grow to provide the kinds of societies we want, while also being resilient against these perils? Crucially, where will the money come from and where are opportunities for investors, managers, and entrepreneurs in the face of these challenges? Please join Professor John Macomber for a discussion of current research on this topic on the continent – and to share your ideas about what HBS should look at next in this realm.
