Across the summit, individual sessions will explore topics like creative housing solutions; technology and surveillance in cities; micro-mobility; the role of protests as civic engagement; the shape of the urban shadow economy; and how everyone from mayors to informal leaders can work to build stronger city communities.
CityLab was founded on the principle that the most important innovation is happening at the local level and that global impact can be achieved when cities share solutions. Over the last six years, CityLab summits have crisscrossed the globe, gathering the most influential mayors and voices from over 400 cities. Each summit has made global headlines, and generated tangible takeaways for attendees.
