Forum Cities: Prototyping Democracy: Guiding Investments for Positive Socio-Economic Impact
Every city aspires to attract investments to address the urgent challenges of our time. Some cities benefit from a strong finance sector and vibrant socially oriented finance networks, eager to effect positive change. Their economic strength enables the development of projects like energy-positive housing or innovative mobility solutions to meet net-zero targets. Conversely, cities facing more severe challenges may encounter greater obstacles and require innovative strategies. These locales can position themselves as testing grounds for new solutions, fostering experimentation and trials. Join us in this session as we explore diverse approaches cities can adopt to achieve prosperity while maintaining social equilibrium.
This session is organised in collaboration with BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt RISE Cities.
More speakers to be announced soon.
