A Diasporan you need to know
Soukayna Remmal
Research and Communications Associate at International Centre for Tax and Development
Soukayna is an emerging voice in the sustainable urbanization space. She recently completed a Graduate Research Fellowship at the School of Cities, where she focused on sustainable urbanization as an enabler of structural transformation in Africa. Watch our discussion to find out how youth can play a key role in developing sustainable urbanization policy, whether we should look forward to or be worried about African megacities and how African cities can grow inclusively.

A: I would probably pick Casablanca...the heart of the Moroccan economy
