An ongoing collaborative effort with a multi-stakeholder working group convened by Cities Alliance, this initiative explores how sustainable construction practices can be integrated into informal urban areas. Meeting monthly, the group developed a position paper addressing key challenges and opportunities for sustainable, affordable, and locally driven building solutions.

The paper was presented at COP28 and featured by the World Economic Forum, contributing to global discussions on urban resilience, equitable development, and climate-conscious construction in rapidly growing cities. By bridging policy, practice, and community-driven approaches, this work provides a strategic foundation for future initiatives in sustainable urban development.
