“Cities by their traditional definition are places of opportunity and access, yet for
people living in African cities today, this is not the case. Historical spatial and eco
exclusions have created ‘large and poor’ cities. At Arup we believe that the futu
African cities should offer equal opportunities and a greater participation in the
economic and political life of cities through a planned and principled approach t
development,” said Nico Venter, associate director, Cities, Arup, at the recent Afric
Estate and Infrastructure Summit in Cape Town in November 2016.
