At present, the process of urbanization around the world is at a turning point. Cities are moving from mindless quantitative expansion to development through creation of better living conditions for the population. The concept of human-centered urban planning, which makes people the priority, rather than a means of the city’s development, is becoming more and more popular.

Ensuring the comfort of residents and maintaining their mental and psychological balance is now a key principle of sustainable urban development and a top objective of city planning. At the International Forum, which will be held on September 11-13, experts will discuss all aspects of the convenience and amenity of the urban environment and once again prove the importance of these characteristics for the modern society.

As you may remember, the event will be devoted to matters of balanced spatial development and is aimed at exchanging experience between Russian and international experts in the field of creating and applying innovative solutions that improve the quality of life of urban communities while preserving the environment.

The business part of the event’s first day will include a conference on application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the construction industry, as well as discussions in plenary and key sessions on the following:

  • Human-centered approach to urban development.
  • Transport and infrastructure for comfortable living.
  • Green energy and water management.
  • New opportunities in the residential and commercial real estate market.
  • Digital technologies in design, construction and management of the city.
  • Street art as a means to bring meanings and uniqueness to the urban environment.

The second and third days of the program will be held in the format of on-site tours to facilities in Moscow. Tours will be organized in several areas: residential and commercial real estate, properties of the elite segment and projects on organization of public spaces.

The information partner of the Forum is the Agency for Strategic Development CENTER.
