The Aga Khan Development Network’s (AKDN) Historic Cities program imagines development differently: It sees people’s culture as a seed that, when watered, can bear fruit in their better health, better incomes, and as a source of hope and prosperity in poor surroundings.
With 10 park and garden projects worldwide, the program has shown that even in the most difficult settings, urban parks can improve life in a city and can also drive economic change. These projects go beyond physically restoring parks and landmarks — they get at deeper causes of poverty and help uplift entire communities.
