Simplicity, care, and depth are the core facets of Alioune's highly convivial personality. I have rarely sighted him alone. Instead, Alioune was permanently surrounded by people flocking dearly to him, each time he walked down the alleys after conference sessions, and to whom he always brought smiles and laughter amidst enthusiastic chattings. Though he was the fullest expression of a down-to-earth, patient companion, Alioune could also exhibit authority and rigor when necessary. His intellectual inputs in conversations pertained to the nexus of the built environment and the SDGs were in the vanguard. Despite retiring, Alioune kept close bonds with the UN-Habitat community and was still actively involved in the global urban debates and gatherings. His legacy will surely survive him and plant a seed in those who have crossed paths with him. May he Rest in Peace!
