In Voices for WUF, John Nchimbi, City Director of Iberia City Council, Tanzania, reflects on the growing movement of people from villages to cities in search of better opportunities — and the difficult reality many encounter upon arrival. Rapid urbanization, inadequate housing, and weak infrastructure leave many residents living in conditions that fall short of human dignity. Limited access to affordable energy also drives reliance on charcoal, placing increasing pressure on forests. #WUF13, taking place in May 2026 in Baku, will bring together leaders, communities, and partners to exchange experiences and discuss solutions to the housing challenges cities are facing. 🏘️ Join the conversation: https://loom.ly/Kb6rUFk
