Seven Transformations for More Equitable and Sustainable Cities
19 October 2021
Join WRI experts along with global, city and community leaders to explore how to make cities work for more people – and generate economic and environmental benefits worldwide.
Seven Transformations for More Equitable and Sustainable Cities is the culmination of a six-year research effort revealing a new vision for urban development based on what has worked in many cities around the world. We find that income and GDP can no longer be the sole measures of poverty and a city’s success. And we show that improved access to core services like water, sanitation, energy, transport and housing for the urban under-served can lead to citywide prosperity and sustainability.
