Creating better
cities together
Hosting city
The host of the fifth edition was the city of Pontevedra in Spain. A place that for the last twenty years has been an example of how to organise a city around people. Drawing on their positive example, we will look to the future. Together. With you.
This edition was amazing!
The themes
Together we will reflect around four key themes that are central to thinking about the future-proof cities around the globe. The city as a case-study will serve as learning grounds, and further, a testbed for innovations:

The city of Pontevedra
Beginning in 1999, the City of Pontevedra adopted a new city model that aimed to shift attention from private motorised vehicles instead to the city’s pedestrians. The city council went about banning all but essential traffic, and promoted journeys by foot, bicycle or public transport. The city suppressed indiscriminate parking in central streets, thereby cutting down immensely on inner-city traffic jams.
