What is an Urban Fabric Initiative (UFI) ?

Growth, participation, co-construction, innovation, prototyping... In a nutshell, what is an UFI ?

During the UFI 2024 week in Nairobi, we interviewed teams from different countries to find out more about what an Urban Fabric Initiative represents and how they are transforming our cities.


Urban Fabric Initiative Week is a biennial event organised by the UFI network. It aims to bring together in one place around thirty network players: operators, partners, members of national governments working in each UFI, AFD representatives, network members and a few additional guests.
