Great leadership of Dr @WilliamsRuto ! @ray_omollo - team Kenya are doing fantastic job. Pitching right is the key message we discussed during the capacity building program conducted by @CitiesForum_org
William Samoei Ruto, PhD@WilliamsRuto

Our endeavours to sell Kenya throughout the world are paying off. Everywhere we go, we have offered everyone - investors, innovators, creators, professionals and travellers of all ages - a compelling reason to visit Kenya. And we have countless such reasons. The world is listening. Our effort to use every local and global opportunity to profile Kenya as a competitive destination has elicited highly inspiring feedback from @lonelyplanet, which has recognised Nairobi as its top global city destination. We agree wholeheartedly with this assessment and positive feedback from a global authority on matters travel and tourism. Kenya is a magnificent country endowed with a sumptuous array of spectacular touristic attractions that are liberally dispersed throughout the land, and Nairobi is its powerful, vital, beating heart. We dream in Nairobi and chase our biggest dreams here. We imagine a better present and future and then create it. We are brave, bold and brilliant in Nairobi. To be recognised as the world's top city destination for 2024 by Lonely Planet is, therefore, direct recognition of the city's unique confluence of global cosmopolitan trends and traditional cultural blends, with an emerging, evolving and dynamic youthful bent and everything else in between. The award is also an indirect affirmation of Magical Kenya as an irresistible destination for those curious to encounter a beautiful country going places with a people who are always ready to engage all visitors, clients, customers and partners until their expectations are exceeded. We shall neither tire nor relent in performing this important duty of marketing and promoting Magical Kenya and Nairobi, our wondrously complex, infinitely charismatic, profoundly fascinating capital abounding with opportunities for everyone thinking of learning, trying or starting something. I encourage all our friends throughout the world to tell a friend or more to make the point of visiting Kenya and experiencing Nairobi. There is nowhere like here anywhere in the world. We are ready and waiting to give you an incomparable travel experience of unforgettable beauty and magic.

The presence of crime, poverty, and social tensions can shape the physical landscape of a city. The exclusion of marginalized and vulnerable groups from public spaces is a significant social issue that can have both physical and social obstacles. archdaily.com/969940/cultiva…

Australia has an abundance of wind and solar energy resources, and enormous sources of biomass for a #zeroemissions chemical industry. Thus, processing minerals and other energy-intensive products in Australia can transform it into a green economy. theconversation.com/australias-new…

As climate change intensifies, New York City's old infrastructure struggles to manage increasingly severe storms. The city is planning a long-term resilience strategy for cloudburst storms. This approach draws parallels to #Copenhagen's experience. archdaily.com/1008604/how-ny…

The transition of #urbanmobility in India stands transformed today. Public sector agencies have now begun to encourage the use of public transportation through new mobility business models. This is the reflection of a global trend where governments are exploring more solutions.

Forest ecosystems represent a precious resource in the #Carpathian region, harboring a wealth of ecological, economic, and cultural values. A potentially devastating combination of #climatechange, nature loss, and pollution is putting new pressure on it. unep.org/news-and-stori…
