Since its launch in 1999, the members of the Cities Alliance have been remarkably constant in retaining the organisation’s focus on the issues of slums, and cities. In this period, the Cities Alliance has supported a range of city and national governments in their attempts to undertake citywide and nationwide slum upgrading, reduce urban poverty, and improve the long-term sustainability of their cities, large and small. Some have been very successful, while many will need ongoing, and consistent, support. These are long-term, difficult development challenges, requiring sustained interventions, as well as tenacity and innovation, over time.
The past year provides an excellent example of just how rapidly new developmental challenges can emerge, capturing the headlines and attention of international development agencies, providing us with yet another reminder how short-term crises and longterm solutions continue to collide.
