Shaping Urban Futures

With "Shaping Urban Futures" the EFA connects visionary stakeholders to foster physical and social innovation for sustainable construction and livable cities. With strong partners from the construction sector and the built environment at large, we create a space for innovation and inspiration over a three-year programme cycle.

About the Discussion

Urban Spaces as Incubators for Symbotic Disruption
How can urban environments become hubs for innovation that embrace disruption while fostering symbiosis among industries, communities, and ecosystems? Through a blend of visionary insights and practical strategies, the panel will address how cities can act as living laboratories to reimagine collaboration and unlock the possibilities of a decarbonized and circular future.
