 The 10th Anniversary of the Cities Alliance provides a timely opportunity for the organisation and its members to learn from past failures and successes and to re-emphasise those principles, policies, and practices that are essential for developmental progress. It has become increasingly clear that national policy frameworks that accept the inevitability and even the desirability of urbanisation are more likely to create the conditions for economic growth on a national scale, and ultimately reduce both urban and rural poverty.
