Mogadishu: city report
This report examines Mogadishu鈥檚 urban development challenges through 6 studies.
Abstract
Mogadishu, the capital and largest city of Somalia, has an estimated population of about 2 million and faces numerous challenges. This report explores the intersections of political settlements, city systems and 4 key domains: land and connectivity, informal settlements, safety and security, and youth capability development. The report identifies crosscutting themes that hinder development and suggests potential reforms. Overall, it provides an in-depth understanding of Mogadishu鈥檚 complex issues and proposes interventions for future urban development.
