Design ideas FINAL

By 2050, two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities, and migration will be a significant driver of urban growth. But what will the future city be like: a hub of creativity and inclusion or a place of disparity and exclusion for many?

Join us for a three-day conference to investigate the relationship between migration and the city in the 21st century. Panelists from different world regions will share insights on the complexity of urban diversity and governance, the role of grassroots advocates and diasporas in migration, and the capacity of small communities, suburban edges and border cities to receive migrant populations.

The conference will be held as a virtual event. Register to receive information on how you can participate. View the conference program here.
