How are cities shaping their strategies to create more livable and inclusive communities? This session brings together city representatives to share experiences on planning, governance, and collaboration, exploring how innovation and technology can support better decision-making, citizen participation, and the delivery of public value.

Urban environments strongly influence health, wellbeing, and access to resources. Laura Jones will explore the intersection of health, justice, wellbeing, and cities, showing how equitable policies and inclusive urban designs can create healthier, fairer communities. She will discuss strategies and approaches that support wellbeing and opportunity for all residents.

As cities face increasing social and environmental challenges, wellbeing is becoming a central pillar of urban policy and planning. Beyond infrastructure and services, the focus is shifting toward inclusion, equity and quality of life. This session will explore how good governance, sustainable strategies and innovative urban models can embed wellbeing into decision-making, creating cities that foster fairer communities and a better quality of life.
