📍 Kigali, Rwanda | Aug 17–23, 2025
African cities are rising as global hubs for economic growth, innovation, and cultural exchange. Yet, the question remains: can global flows truly address local challenges, or will they create pockets of wealth and isolation? This is the central question of the "Global Flows, Local Fix?" workshop where Technische Universität Berlin's Chair of Urban and Regional Economics aims to explore how global integration can shape just, inclusive, and sustainable urban development.

This workshop will bring together diverse experts to address the intersection of global flows and local urban development. Participants will engage in discussions on leveraging economic and technological drivers to promote inclusive, spatially integrated solutions. With Kigali as the workshop's backdrop, we’ll examine real-world metropolitan development challenges through site visits and collaborative learning.

The role of foreign direct investment and local entrepreneurship
Smart city approaches and urban infrastructure
Transportation, environmental challenges, and housing policies
The link between global integration and local spatial development
