Exciting things happening abroad. Yesterday Geografia MD Kevin Johnson participated in a panel at the 11th World Urban Forum currently being held in Katowice, Poland. The panel was hosted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of China and the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government. The event announced the launch of the Shanghai Adapted Index and Shanghai Prize. Kevin has been assisting in the development of the Index, which itself is an adaptation of the Global Urban Monitoring Framework, which he worked on with Madrid City Council and UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme) in 2020 and 2021. The project is designed to encourage cities around the world to accelerate their progress in achieving the UN SDGs.
