Bloomberg CityLab, the preeminent global cities summit organized by Bloomberg Philanthropies in partnership with the Aspen Institute, is bringing together global mayors alongside prominent city innovators, business leaders, urban experts, artists, and activists to discuss and discover replicable solutions to pressing issues – from leading their communities through pandemic recovery to welcoming refugees from global conflicts to combatting climate change.
An excellent speaker line up will tackle topics such as waterproofing cities, urban cures for mental health, the evolving role of local leaders, from city planning to science fiction and much more. Details on the programme and background information on the speakers is available on the event´s website.
Time Machine & Amsterdam Time Machine to inform future-oriented perspectives based on the Big Data of the Past
