Addis Ababa Wins 2026 Global Sustainable Cities Award as Ethiopia Charts Vision for Urban Growth

It is a proud moment for Ethiopia that Addis Ababa has been recognized with the 2026 Global Award for Sustainable Development in Cities, reflecting the city’s progress in sustainable urban development and its continued transformation.

It is also an opportunity to look ahead. We must continue building modern, inclusive and sustainable cities while preserving the history, heritage and identity that make each of them unique. Urban development is about more than infrastructure. It is about fostering a culture of urbanity, creating quality public spaces and making our cities better places to live and work.

Our vision must extend beyond Addis Ababa. From Harar to Bahir Dar, Hawassa to Jimma, Arba Minch to Dire Dawa, every Ethiopian city has the potential to become a model of sustainable urban development.

Today, Addis Ababa. Tomorrow, a new chapter for every Ethiopian city. Let us build cities that embrace the future without losing their connection to the past.
