About Us:
Urban Issues is a development organisation committed to the transformation of our urban areas. Lorenzo Davids, CEO and founder, has been involved in public service and in the non-profit sector for over 17 years, first in human resources (training and development) for five years and thereafter as CEO of City Mission for over 12 years.

Today he steers Urban Issues into the future. He has set up the Urban Issues Agency to house all business and income generating activities in the organisation, and the Urban Issues Foundation to become a funder of community development. There is also a Section 21 Company, Urban Issues, to be the vehicle through which services are provided. He explains why he founded the multi-faceted organisation, “Cities are key places in the modern world.

They are centres of economic and political development. They are educational, housing and health hubs. The world is fast becoming urban. If we don't set up structures to anticipate and facilitate this, cities will become places of Dickensanian chaos and poverty. My companies love the urban space and seek to create natural transformational influence in the urban market place.”
