We are in an era in which states seek to demonstrate their power and values through the construction of new cities. This new wave of development is global: in Egypt with the New Administrative Capital, in Indonesia with Nusantara, in Kenya with Konza Techno City and Tatu City, and in California’s Solano County. The promise of new cities is seductive while the need for solutions to housing shortages, public health dilemmas, and climate change is more pressing than ever. The question of whether these new cities and capitals offer solutions to these global challenges remains. How might they usher in a new era of socially and environmentally conscious urban planning?
Join the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace for a virtual event with photojournalist Nick Hannes, associate professor Dorina Pojani of the University of Queensland, Carnegie California nonresident scholar Micah Weinberg, and Carnegie Technology and International Affairs fellow Nanjira Sambuli.
Moderated by Carnegie California founding director Ian Klaus, panelists will discuss the evolution of new cities and capitals, examine their opportunities and challenges, and reflect on the future direction of urban planning.
