Three-fifths of urban populations will be aged under 18 years by 2030. Yet policies to engage with young people in guiding their education, employment, quality of life, and wellbeing remain limited. Renewed efforts are underway using innovative strategies to work with young people in shaping the future of their cities. As cities around the world seek to cope with climate change, socioeconomic inequalities, migration and economic growth, how can leaders develop effective and sustainable solutions?
This webinar hosted by the Financial Times, in partnership with Fondation Botnar, explored the importance of engaging young people in the future of cities, the challenges involved and the strategies that have been successful in creating vibrant cities fit for the future.
