Since 2018, AFD-funded urban nurseries have been experimenting with new ways of designing public spaces, as close as possible to future users. Four projects are currently underway in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Dakar (Senegal), Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) and several cities in Tunisia, where galloping urbanization requires local interventions that are collectively designed and supported by larger-scale structuring urban development programs.

On October 6, 2020, the incubator network organized a launch event, in collaboration with the French Development Agency (AFD).
