Migration flows from the periphery to the city contribute to the exponential growth of urban populations, which experience a constant decline in their living conditions and are forced to seek what is necessary for survival in the absence of essential services.
Although economic indicators show an actual increase in per capita income, this growth is without development, harming both urban and rural populations. The involved African states remain trapped in the vicious cycle of debt contracted with economically stronger countries, a spiral from which African populations cannot free themselves, even with significant economic progress in recent years.
One possible response to this crisis is certainly to invest in the many young people who make up the majority of the African population and who can play a crucial role in rediscovering their place on the global artistic stage.
Anna Maria Gentili and Fabrizio Floris will discuss the causes, aspects, and potential solutions to the issue of this growth without development."**
