Getting Ready for the Century of the City

The majority of the world population is urban. Poverty, risks and suffering are urbanizing at fast pace, posing challenges at a scale never experimented before. Oxfam needs to get ready for the Century of the City. This urban framework signals a step change in Oxfam GB’s investment, profile and learning in urban programming so that by 2016, Oxfam GB will have doubled its impact on urban areas* across Development, Humanitarian and Campaigns.
