Collaborating for urban resilience:
transforming cities for a sustainable future

As cities in the Global South face challenges like overcrowding and resource optimization, the Global North faces the complexities of aging populations and infrastructure. With cities generating 80% of the world’s GDP, it’s clear that collaborative investment is essential to drive change on how we create thriving, happy, inclusive and liveable cities for our future generations.

We invite you to join us at the LiveableCitiesX Summit, where world-renowned experts will come together to share success stories and insights on how we can reshape urban development to be more inclusive, accessible and resilient.

Key highlights of the summit include:

• A global lineup of urban leaders, policymakers, investors, academics, planners, developers and tech innovators.

• World-class speakers flown in from across the globe, many presenting in this region for the first time.

• Global perspectives shared through real-world city case studies, themed networking opportunities and practical talks.

Join us on 27 and 28 November 2024 at the Gold Stage in Za'abeel Hall 6 at Dubai World Trade Centre and help shape the conversation that's driving the transformation of our cities through collaboration and innovation.
