In August 2024, WRI Africa and the World Resources Institute (WRI) Ross Center for Sustainable Cities hosted the Resilient, Equitable Housing, Opportunities and Urban Services (REHOUSE) and Atlas of Urban Growth conference in Nairobi, Kenya.

This regionally focused event brought together community members, donors, technical experts, researchers, and government officials and consisted of engaging discussions and hands-on exercises about the opportunities to build resilient cities and communities in the face of climate risks in Kenya, Ethiopia and Rwanda. The conference proceeding summarizes and reflects the discussions and presentations of the over 60 participants at the event. It also includes recommendations identified by the participants.
