Future Cities Forum
The world is becoming more urban as more people choose to live in towns and cities and create sustainable communities. As a result, the future development of towns, cities, regions and neighbourhoods becomes a global issue and has to be addressed at international, national and local level. There are many issues and challenges to be faced and overcome and the most comprehensive answers are those that result from new thinking based on experience.

How can technology improve life in the city? How can communication be improved so that all citizen are involved and connected with their urban space? How can communication be improved so that all citizens are involved and connected with their urban space? How can culture and the arts play a more significant part in the development of cities and how can a creative approach be adopted to delivering services in a city? How will cities in the future be financed?
These are some of the question that will lead to more positive thinking on the regeneration of towns and cities. The delegates at the conference are being asked to come up with new ideas that will lead to an agenda for change.
