What does it take to build cities that work for everyone? 🌍🏙️
At the 13th #WorldUrbanForum, the Just City Platform (JCP) joined urban practitioners, policymakers, researchers & civil society to champion one simple idea: cities must be shaped by the people who live in them.
From housing justice & democratic urban financing to inclusive governance & community participation, JCP contributed to conversations on building African cities that are equitable, resilient & people-centred.

🇿🇲Zambia’s digital economy depends on #platformworkers, yet many still face unstable incomes, weak protections, and limited rights.
The future of work cannot be driven by innovation alone; it must be grounded in #fairness, #dignity, and #accountability.
Digital platforms are reshaping work, but many workers face low pay, instability, and little protection. 📱 Apps control jobs and wages with limited transparency.
This #LabourDay2026: recognise all workers, ensure rights, and protect fair conditions. ✊

#GiveToGain #IWD #GenderJustice
#GenderJustice remains one of today’s biggest challenges. Women’s voices are often sidelined, care work undervalued, and inequalities persist.
This #IWD2026, we present “Give to Gain – and Popcorn!” — an Afro-feminist film series exploring these realities.
