Cities aren’t just skylines and traffic jams—they’re powerhouses in the fight against poverty, says UN-Habitat’s Anacláudia Rossbach. In an exclusive chat with CGTN’s Wang Guan, she spotlighted China’s jaw-dropping achievement: lifting 800 million people out of poverty. 🚀 "This isn’t just about numbers—it’s about transforming lives," Rossbach emphasized, calling it a blueprint for Africa, Latin America, and struggling Asian regions.
🏙️ Urbanization, she argues, is the ultimate hack. But it’s not just about building taller towers. "Think bigger: housing, schools, hospitals—all woven into the fabric of cities," she explained. Imagine eco-friendly spaces where culture and commerce collide, creating opportunities for everyone. 🌿💼
🌍 For young professionals and policymakers, Rossbach’s message is clear: Sustainable cities = smarter futures. And with over half the global population now urban, her insights couldn’t be timelier. 💡
