He said effective urban sanitation management is critical to public health as the increasing rate of people moving to urban centres demands increased waste management and sanitation infrastructure that meets the unique needs of its people.

A Research Director at Zoomlion Ghana limited, Dr. Kofi Sekyere Boateng who also spoke as panellist at the forum on the topic “Development of municipal capacities for urban solid waste management: strengthening the circular economy and climate protection in cities” indicated that improper solid waste management has a negative impact on climate change hence the need to adopt the integrated recycling and compost plants in communities as being done by Zoomlion in Ghana.

The Secretary-General of the UN-Habitat, Ms. Maimunah Mohd Sharif in an address pointed out that, sustainable urbanization should be a reality.

She encouraged countries present to adopt the culture of change which is a critical element in urban development. ‘What worked yesterday may not work today. We must differentiate between the culture of the people and the culture of the nation”, she stated.
