The theme is Reinventing Urban Futures: Regenerative Cities for a Resilient Planet. The event is free of charge but requires registration.

Last year, we deliberated on resilient and sustainable communities and cities. Since then, intensifying geopolitical tensions, climate‑related disruptions, and widening social inequalities have further challenged the stability of urban living. These developments underscore the urgent need to reimagine urban futures and rethink how cities can thrive within planetary boundaries.

The conference will have academic papers, posters and lightening talks as well as workshops on each day. The event is free of charge and will be in hybrid mode.

Opportunities are available for any businesses, commercial partners or local community organisations to support the event and share their expertise during the event.
