THE BEAUTY DIVIDENDS
How Dubai saved the world, and how landscaping could save AfricaBy Falibra Fall Kepaar
Length1h 55m
About this audiobook
.Since independence, many African leaders have
understandably focused on the urgent foundations of
development: roads, electricity, schools, hospitals, jobs,
industrialization, and economic growth. But there is another
dimension of development that has received far less attention:
desirability. When the immediate environment communicates neglect and
hopelessness, the psychological and economic effects of poverty
are amplified. Africa is not inherently poor; too often, it simply
looks and feels poorer than its potential warrants.
This perception contributes to the continent's struggle to attract
and retain investment that aligns with its rich resources and
human capital.
..The absence of policies and institutions
that consistently support, cultivate, and empower the talents
already present among us is a major cause. Once remedied, it would create
something like a renaissance: environments shaped by African
history, imagination, craftsmanship, and an enduring
appreciation for beauty.
