A planned three-week pop-up city in Nairobi for people building Africa’s industrial, financial, and cultural infrastructure.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The project frames residence as the mechanism: people stay in one place long enough for work, talks, workshops, and informal contact to overlap. Its agenda is divided into four threads—manufacturing, finance, culture, and community—while the FAQ emphasizes that the best outcomes may be unplanned. The page gives Nairobi and the 3–26 April 2027 dates, but says the venue, arrival details, and cost will come later through the mailing list.
