How to face Urban Challenges of the 21st century?

As the world's population keeps growing exponentially, millions of people are added to urban environments each year and there's no end in sight. Communities and cities have to start to build and rebuild differently, by using space in a more efficient way. To enable this growth in a sustainable way, we have to rethink our cities design! 

Traditionally urban areas have been considered separately, creating individual urban pieces with different communities, stakeholders, and politicians.

To this date this has seemed to have at a rather costly oversight. Using a holistic view lets us recognize activities that might seem to be unrelated, but could be considered and executed simultaneously with significant reductions and overall improvement. But what are the priorities for these activities? How do you properly plan out the infrastructure improvements needed to benefit the communities and cities? With experts from different fields we are looking forward to create an engaging exchange of knowledge and contribute to the cities resilience!
