SUMMIT TOPICS

Our focus is on the human impact and human condition of growth, opportunity, challenges, and the outcome of conversations around the topics.

NEIGHBORHOOD

DEVELOPMENT AND ENGAGEMENT

Discussing challenges and vision for the development of neighborhoods in the physical domain including design and planning, socio economic, and the interdependency of community.

mobility

The impact of mobility in terms of transport and transit will have on city’s, and individuals within them. What will it take to build out a smart mobility focused city, what does that mean, what services and support are needed, what can we learn from.

SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Drawing valuable insights from both challenges and successful strategies, the thoughtful and sustainable planning of infrastructure, services, design, technology, innovation, and education serves as a cornerstone for bolstering cities in the face of climate change, economic downturns, and various civic and social hardships.

URBAN DIALOGUES

Taking place the same day as the Sustainable Urban Design Summit at Newlab, Detroit, the Urban Dialogues, led by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in Chicago, are three, curated workshops and conversations focused on Urban DesignMobility, and Community Engagement. Experts and innovators here have a chance to engage in and attend deep dive conversations into each of the three topics alongside their peers.

Both Urban Dialogues and the Sustainable Urban Design Summit focus is to general novel new ideas that aggregate efforts and ideas across continents and expertise.
