Mobility of the future
Climate-friendly mobility concepts are vital to the sustainable future of large cities. KfW keeps a close eye on developments, looks at possible solutions and supports innovative ideas, projects and start-ups.
02
Urban development
The growth of cities around the world is continuing unabated. Forecasts estimate that there will be more than 500 cities with over one million inhabitants by 2030. The gigantic urban centres are arising particularly in emerging and developing countries and have to contend with a variety of challenges. Is sustainable development even still possible?
03
Urbanisation in South Africa
Johannesburg’s population is growing rapidly with no end in sight. What challenges does the growing rate of urbanisation pose for infrastructure and mobility? KfW staff on the ground are working to analyse the main problems and come up with possible solutions.
04
Citizen participation
It is the people in a city that bring it to life. The involvement of citizens in change processes is therefore crucial to creating a liveable environment and to making a city viable for the future.
