Collaborating for urban resilience:
transforming cities for a sustainable future

Cities in the Global South face challenges ranging from overcrowding to resource optimization, while the Global North is confronting aging populations and infrastructure. With 80% of global GDP generated in cities, collaborative investment is needed to drive change on how we create thriving, happy, inclusive and liveable cities for future generations.

The mission of LiveableCitiesX is to drive urban transformation forward. At the LiveableCitiesX Summit global leaders will share their personal journeys, successes and setbacks, providing invaluable insights into the real issues and opportunities shaping our cities.
