Circular Cities Summit 2.0

Building upon the resounding success of its inaugural edition in Singapore, the Circular Cities Summit 2.0 is poised to emerge as a beacon of innovation and collaboration in the pursuit of sustainable urban futures. Conceived by eminent vanguards of international professional organizations, including the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA), the International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP), the International Union of Architects (UIA) and the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), alongside other distinguished entities, this summit stands as a resolute clarion call.

This year, we emphasise the integration of circular design principles into urban planning to tackle urgent environmental challenges, including extreme weather, severe traffic congestion, critical air pollution, and issues with thermal comfort. Taking place in Dubai, the summit will explore how concepts from the circular economy can be utilised to boost urban sustainability and resilience. 

The summit will serve as a platform for thought leaders, practitioners, and policymakers from around the world to exchange ideas, case studies, and technologies. It aims to inspire the implementation of innovative, sustainable urban planning strategies that adhere to circular economy principles, leading to more resilient, efficient, and clean cities. Participants will depart with actionable insights and strategies, equipped to implement these ideas in their own urban settings to drive significant environmental and infrastructural change.

Follow our detailed roadmap for circular city innovation, outlining the steps to transform urban areas into sustainable, zero-waste environments.

We aim to inspire change, one city at a time.
