Mega events have a huge role to play in promoting sustainable urban transformation.
At this session dubbed 'the legacy of mega events,' I emphasized the importance of ensuring these events provide long-term community benefits.
And hope WUF12 will leave a lasting legacy in Cairo

When it comes to transforming Paris into a “garden city,” they’re just getting started. The City’s goal is to reach 170,000 new trees by 2026, and they want 300 new hectares of green spaces (“green lungs”) opened to the public by 2040. A “more welcoming, calm & breathable” Paris.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.
