In a landmark moment for global urban governance, the cities of Johannesburg and Tshwane officially launched the 8th cycle of Urban 20 (U20) with the theme of “Cities Leading the Way in Reimagining Global Change”.
The U20 Co-chairs, Executive Mayor Nasiphi Moya of Tshwane and Executive Mayor Dada Morero of Johannesburg, marked the start of this year-long process at the Government Communication and Information Systems (GCIS) Building in Pretoria, underscoring the historic significance of South Africa hosting and leading this pivotal global forum for the first time. This initiative aims to amplify the voices of major cities in shaping the agenda of the G20 Summit.
As the world watches, Johannesburg and Tshwane are poised to make history, not only as the first African cities to lead the U20 but as champions of a more inclusive, sustainable, and equitable future for urban centers worldwide.
