The Afropolitan
By 2050, one in four people on the planet will be African. Africa will increasingly drive key aspects of the future—from the global workforce and cutting-edge innovations to creative industries that inspire global culture and arts. The decisions made across Africa today, both positive and negative, will shape the world’s future.
The future of cosmopolitanism is increasingly African. These are the stories, trends, and challenges shaping the present and defining the decades ahead.
The Afropolitan is hosted by Catherine Nzuki and produced by Cera Baker.
