This event will show how to utilise cutting-edge technologies, integrated urban planning approaches and sustainable methodologies to transform urban spaces into better places to live. The most pressing issues currently facing Europe's cities will be discussed:

• improving land-use,
• easing congestion,
• maximising resource efficiency
• reducing the environmental impact of the urban spaces.

It brings together key decision-makers from cities, municipalities and local governments, including mayors, administrators and urban planners, as well as senior-level executives from utilities, energy suppliers, service providers and transport operators with responsibility for strategic development, sustainability, infrastructure and network management, finance and regulation. It also encourages leading cross-industry players - from architects and designers to financial institutions and investors - to attend and incorporate their perspectives on how best to transform today's cities into the intelligent cities of tomorrow.
