The World Bank has described urbanization as ‘the defining phenomenon of the 21st century’. 90% of urban growth is happening in the developing world and over 50% of urban dwellers are youth. Two billion new urban inhabitants are expected in the next 20 years.
In the face of such an evolution and the potential risk of alienation of a growing number of urban populations, new models for viable, diverse, peaceful, creative and vibrant cities are needed in the developing world.
Studies already highlight the link between cities’ development and health, safety, food security, access to services or environmental control, however more is to be done to encourage local and inclusive urban solutions in fast-growing cities and engage citizens’ ownership.
Cultural dynamism and public spaces as well as civil society’s participation play a key role for ensuring a sustainable and business friendly urban development.
Representatives from local governments, academia, the corporate world, urban planning and culture will address the issue from their own perspective.

In the original budget for 2014, it is stated that cultural cooperation in developing work should strengthen universal human rights, including the right to freely participate in the cultural life. Thus strengthening the cultural rights is an important objective of the Norwegian policy. In the revised proposal for 2014 from the conservative wing they suggest a reduction of NOK 20 million or about 18,5%. It is an apparent priority from Moderates / Progress Party and it may affect many (of world's) front runners for human rights, democracy and the free, artistic expression.

At a time when Mali lives an unprecedented political and identity crisis, we need more than ever to promote some of our values to get out of this abyss created by this situation. Today more than ever, Malians need to gather around what unites them. Today more than ever, the sons of this country must talk to each other, understand each other, and forgive each other. Because, dialogue is the best way to peace. Yes, dialogue to appease hearts; dialogue to learn from the past; dialogue to know and recognize each other; dialogue to accept each other despite our differences; dialogue to define the basic elements that will form the basis of the new Mali; dialogue to promote cultural diversity. Mali is characterized by the wealth of its artistic and cultural expressions. From Kidal to Kayes, each population has its particularity. And it is this mosaic that has always made the charm of this country.
