Kasi Insight, The Intelligence Africa Runs On, is proud to have contributed to the Quality of Life (QoL) Initiative, a visionary collaboration led by UN-Habitat, aimed at reimagining cities as inclusive spaces where belonging is a core design principle.
The three-day Belonging Roundtable brought together global urban thinkers, local leaders, and data experts to explore how data-driven design and community participation can transform cities into environments where all residents feel seen, heard, and empowered.
Turning Local Data into Global Impact
Yannick Lefang, CEO of Kasi Insight, joined the roundtable as a data expert and thought leader in citizen-centric intelligence. His contribution focused on how real-time consumer and community data can drive more inclusive urban development by:
Making invisible communities visible through localized sentiment tracking
Encouraging the co-creation of metrics between citizens and city planners
Bridging the gap between top-down policy and grassroots lived experiences
“Belonging is not just a feeling, it’s a measurable, designable outcome,” said Yannick Lefang. “At Kasi Insight, we believe that smart cities begin with smart, inclusive data. This initiative reflects the future of urban planning: built with, not just for, the people.”
A Dynamic Model for Future Cities
The Quality of Life platform serves as a living lab for testing ideas that turn belonging into policy and practice, supported by data, trust, and co-ownership. This model aligns with Kasi Insight’s mission to make African voices the foundation of smarter decisions across the public and private sectors.
