The future is predicted to be increasingly urban. The United Nations estimates that globally, by 2050, up to 70 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in urban areas. Critical to the shape and nature of any urban future will be the role of urban governance. The Urban Age Delhi conference will explore the link between urban governance and the future development of cities. By comparing the experiences of different cities, it will analyse the conditions and processes that allow for participatory, effective, accountable and future-oriented decision making.
Conference dates: 14-15 November 2014
Location: Delhi, India
