UrbanShift Forums
These flagship gatherings bring together high-level representatives from across UrbanShift's three regions to engage in discussions and coordination around local and regional challenges.
UrbanShift Forums are the flagship events of the program, where senior political and technical representatives from participating cities and countries gather with international organizations and the private sector to exchange knowledge on different urban development challenges. At these forums, cities enjoy the opportunity to expand their knowledge of regional urban challenges and replicable solutions, explore financing for projects, and boost climate commitments at local and national levels. A total of three forums will take place, one in each UrbanShift region (Asia, Africa, and Latin America).
