About Event

Over half of the global population now lives in cities, which are responsible for approximately 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions. As urban areas continue to grow, they must evolve to reduce their environmental impact and become more resilient to future challenges.

Join industry experts for an inspiring day focused on how cities across the globe are driving innovation, reducing carbon footprints, and planning for a more sustainable future.

Key topics for the day include:

  • Greening Construction Materials: Advancing sustainable building practices.

  • Smart Cities of the Future: Planning and designing urban areas that are efficient, connected, and climate-resilient.

  • Inter-City Collaboration: Building momentum and sharing solutions across urban centers.

  • Proven Urban Solutions: Strategies that address the biggest challenges facing cities today.

A Few (of the many) Confirmed Speakers:

  • ​​William McDonough, Author of Cradle to Cradle

  • Peter Templeton, CEO of US Green Building Council

  • Illya Azaroff, Incoming Board Chair for the American Institute of Architects

  • Dan Tangherlini, Managing Director at Emerson Collective
