Next was an engaging conversation with Alain Bertaud on how markets shape cities at #HarvardCID. #UrbanPlanning has interfaces with #design, #architecture, #economics, #politics, and so much more, and this wide-ranging conversation gets at many of the core issues for how to think about these intersections and the role that #data should play in development https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17lQQxWupT4 (3/6)

Last was a good summary of the looming #debt crisis in #Africa by Ishac Diwan at #HarvardCID. There's more complexity to the situation than I previously appreciated, and it's important to understand as international organizations move to help restructure this debt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKEz5IUcHh8 (9/9)

Last was an insightful conversation on the role of business in #SouthAfrica's future with Ann Bernstein at #HarvardCID. South Africa is one of the engines of African growth, but there are some hurdles that companies need to overcome to participate in the market and employment barriers for South African youth. I left this discussion feeling more informed but less sure of the future trajectory of the region https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLs6hfyFmyk (5/5)

Last was an engaging talk on #knowledge #management for #InternationalDevelopment by Bridget Leigh Snell at #HarvardCID. Interorganizational #KM is tough, and the discussion here gets at important topics in the space and how through intentioned effort, only some of which is about technology, the public sector can start to collaborate in this area https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px06o9TqlBc (9/9)
