Episode Mark Roberts on Catalyzing Jobs & Economic Growth in African Cities
Our guest is Mark Roberts — Lead Urban Economist at the World Bank and a lead author of the Bank’s new flagship report, Sub-Saharan Africa’s Urban Awakening: Catalyzing Economic Growth and Job Creation, to which the Africa Urban Lab contributed. We discuss why fast-growing African cities do not automatically become productive ones, exploring what it takes to turn rapid urbanization into economic growth and job creation. It’s a conversation about the policies, investments, and institutions needed to unlock the economic potential of Africa’s cities.
