(Can) Cities Save the World!?
Over 2,000 politicians, academics and civil society representatives from 600 cities around the world have confirmed participation in the Brussels Urban Summit from 12 to 15 June, including more than 140 mayors from cities worldwide.
By 2050, the United Nations estimates that two thirds of the planet’s inhabitants will live in urban areas. These areas are therefore key to facing today and tomorrow’s global challenges, such as climate change, migration, urban growth and inequality, the consequences of which will determine the fate of billions living in our cities.
The Brussels Urban Summit convenes three international city conferences to discuss urban challenges and solutions: the triannual 14th Metropolis World Congress, the Eurocities Annual Conference and the 6th Meeting of the OECD Champion Mayors for Inclusive Growth Initiative.
