“’Future Proof Cities’ will be the theme of the 2021 conference, referring to the concept of urban future-proofing, which involves monitoring developments in all areas of urban life to ensure an equilibrium between the environment, technology, economic activity and human needs and aspirations.

Cities in the Network anchor culture and creativity in their development frameworks and policies to advance objectives such as social cohesion, employment and entrepreneurship and gender balance among others for the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The annual conferences are a unique opportunity for cities to review their achievements, exchange best practices and ideas, identify new trends, discuss challenges and opportunities and build connections and partnerships.”
