Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi has a bright vision for the future of cities, where young people lead the way in making urban spaces better. She believes that with new ideas and teamwork, youth can tackle big problems like climate change and housing shortages. In her recent speech for World Habitat Day, she called for inclusive policies that bring everyone together, especially in South Africa where many are young. Kubayi’s plan also encourages research and collaboration, inviting students to help create smart solutions for our cities and rural areas alike. Her message is clear: by working together and thinking creatively, we can build a better future for all.
