An opening session that confronts the persistent gap between policy ambition and on-the-ground delivery in housing and infrastructure projects across Africa.

Who Should Attend

Every session will be honoured by the presence and participation of;

  • Municipal planners, housing officials, and infrastructure managers
  • Public sector decision-makers and policy practitioners
  • Emerging and established property developers
  • DFIs, commercial banks, fund managers, and impact investors
  • Built-environment professionals (planners, engineers, architects, QSs)
  • Procurement, project management, and delivery professionals
  • NGOs, development agencies, and social impact practitioners
  • Community leaders and delivery intermediaries involved in housing and infrastructure

    • This series is designed for practitioners responsible for turning plans, policies, and capital into real, delivered outcomes.

    What You’ll Walk Away With

  • A shared diagnostic language for understanding why housing and infrastructure projects stall
  • Clear visibility into where delivery breakdowns most commonly occur
  • An introduction to the Mr. Affordable Living delivery methodology
  • A live anchor case illustrating systemic misalignment in practice
  • A foundation framework that sets up the full Season 1 journey

    • Across Africa, housing and infrastructure policies are improving, funding instruments are expanding, and demand is undeniable—yet delivery outcomes remain weak.

    This opening session frames the core question of Season 1: why do so many projects stall between approval and execution?

    Using a project in Lenasia South, City of Johannesburg as a live anchor case, the session introduces the Mr. Affordable Living delivery lens, revealing how misalignment between institutions, capital, land, infrastructure, and delivery actors creates systemic paralysis. This webinar establishes a shared diagnostic language that underpins the entire season and invites participants into a deeper, practice-oriented conversation about execution.
