The objective is to « have 70% of the population living in urban areas by 2050»

The new focus will be on identifying and creating synergies between the critical elements of urbanization that create agglomeration and enhance the socioeconomic benefits of urbanization. Urbanization will continue to rapidly change with new growth poles projected to emerge besides the already planned six secondary cities and Kigali city due to large investments being undertaken for example in Bugesera.

Specific priorities under this pillar include;

1. Universal access to quality services and amenities

2. Universal access to affordable and decent housing

3. Ease of mobility and efficient transport

4. SMART and Green cities for Sustainable growth

5. Sustainable supply and demand for energy
