Addressing the Urbanization challenge
July 21st – August 19th, 2015
Today, as more than half of the world's population lives in cities and urban areas, managing and developing urban areas is one of the main challenges of the developing world. According to UN-Habitat, there are 823 million living in slums. The share of slum residents in the developing world as percentage of the urban population has declined but despite this reduction, in absolute numbers, the number of slum dwellers continues to increase. The problem of slums remains as one of the greatest challenges for city managers in the 21st century. But more than slum upgrading, city managers and governors are faced with the need in migration absorption, social integration, job creation and specifically youth unemployment, and controlling crime and unsocial behavior.

Green Growth: Policy measures and Implementation tools
October 19th – November 17th, 2015
Green growth is the means by which the current economy can make the transition to a sustainable economy. In sustainability terms, economic and social sustainability on the one hand, and social and environmental sustainability on the other, have been found to be not only compatible, but also largely complementary. Not so with economic and environmental sustainability, as growth has come largely at the expense of the environment which is why Green Growth aims to ensure that economic and environmental sustainability are compatible.
