Future of Future Cities

Date: 
October 26, 2010

26th October, hosted by the City of Malmö

New infrastructure in transportation and communication is not enough in the future! A new playground for growth is needed, involving entrepreneurs from all sectors of society private as well as public - and not for profit. Solid sustainable development requires strong engagement from the citizens and a holistic approach on sustainability.

Different strategic resources such as environmental, infrastructural, social, intellectual, cultural, political and financial capital must be managed in a new way. The experience from Malmö will be the practical application of the challenges and conditions for "Future of Future Cities".

All presentations are interpreted in Chinese simultaneously. Please note that the programme may be subject to change.
