I have just returned from Budapest, where I attended the IGU Commission on Geography of Governance’s international conference on paradigm shifts in local governance, which took place from 4-6 September 2023. I presented a paper entitled “Legal dimensions of private sector involvement in resilient urban governance: Navigating dual crises of Covid-19 and drought in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa” with Amanda Spies, and was also the discussant in a session on resilient urban governance.
