Program areas at Charter Cities Institute

Pass laws: provided for secondary Cities to be designated as special jurisdictions (or special economic Cities) in malawi's special economic zone bill. Gained significant traction in advancing Charter Cities in zambia with endorsement from state house to pilot Charter Cities in zambia. Forged and formalized strategic partnerships through the signing of memoranda of understanding with the national planning commission in malawi and gambian association of local government authorities, to advance the development of spatially distributed secondary Cities with devolved Governance systems.
Build a movement through thought leadership: published the Charter Cities atlas. The Charter Cities atlas has been a cci fan favorite, featuring beautiful, interactive digital content to tell the story of historical self-governing Cities from around the world. Our newest reference guide, the planning guidelines. Cci's reference guide library continues to grow with the publication of our guidelines on city development, urban planning, and mobility. These guidelines will help Charter city developers navigate the challenge of building an affordable, accessible, emergent city. Supported the launch of the lusaka urban lab as a multidisciplinary initiative to generate new Research and facilitate knowledge sharing on urban issues in lusaka. Co-hosted the first new Cities conference. Cci co-hosted our first conference on new Cities in the global south with the sustainable urbanization lab at mit in 2022. Other high-quality Research focused on 5 key themes: new Cities, decentralized Governance, industrial policy and special economic zones, cultural economics, and urban geography and economics.
Build Cities: partnered with rwanda development board and rwanda finance limited as joint founding members of africa's nxt50 Cities coalition to lead and build the coalition, plan and execute the global Charter Cities conference, and establish a catalyst fund to finance new Charter city projects. Established africa's nxt50 Cities coalition as the principal vehicle for building the ecosystem for well- planned, financed, built, and governed new city projects on a large scale. The coalition has grown very quickly, with 47 coalition members at the end of 2022. Provided technical assistance on the policy, legal, regulatory and institutional framework for the proposed common agro-industrial park between zambia and zimbabwe, where we proposed devolving authority to the park administration for an effective and efficient Governance system.
