In the wake of rapid urbanization in Africa, the importance of intermediary cities in strengthening urban-rural linkages is growing exponentially. In recognition of this trend, UN-Habitat and the United Cities and Local Government of Africa (UCLGA) organized a webinar on the role of intermediary cities in strengthening urban-rural linkages in Africa, amidst rapid urbanization on the continent. The event was held virtually and served as preparation for the upcoming 9th session of the Africities Summit to be held in Kisumu, Kenya in May 2022.
