Cities are changing. The way we think about them must change too.
Urbanisation is creating new opportunities; but also bringing complex challenges around adequate housing, infrastructure, mobility, inequality, climate resilience and quality of life.
And these challenges cannot be solved in isolation.
Housing is connected to mobility.
Mobility is connected to access.
Access is connected to opportunity.
And every part of it shapes the city we call home.
That is why we need to connect the dots.
The 2nd World Cities Day Connect 2026 brings together diverse voices to explore how urban regeneration can help create cities that are more inclusive, sustainable and resilient, while ensuring adequate housing and better living conditions for all.
Aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11): Sustainable Cities and Communities, the Connect is a space for ideas, partnerships and action towards better cities.
Because the question is no longer simply how do we build more?
It is:
How do we regenerate the cities we already have and make them better for everyone?
