The Century of the Cities welcomes His Excellency Fahd Al-Rasheed, General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. His Excellency takes us on a journey from 1980 to 2080, redefining how we view cities as places to live. From the concept of "cities as products" to the critical need for leadership that blends political savvy, CEO acumen, and urban expertise, this conversation uncovers the ingredients for cities that unleash human potential. His Excellency shares insights into the challenges of rapid urbanization, the importance of strategic planning before master planning, and the revolutionary idea of training city leaders with an "MCA," a Master's in City Administration. With personal anecdotes and forward-looking strategies, His Excellency inspires us to rethink the role of cities in shaping our collective future.
