abstract:The World Cities Summit is a premier event that brings together practitioners and policy makers with leading experts in their field to identify innovative solutions to the most pressing challenges facing cities today. It is an international conference series on public governance and the sustainable development of cities.
In 2005 it hosted the first WorldCities Leadership Climate Change Summit, a meeting which paved the way for the creation of the C40 -- a group of large cities committed to tackling climate change that includes members as diverse as New York, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Johannesburg and Jakarta.
In March and April, the Dachis Group is also holding their Social Business Summit in four cities around the world: Austin, London, Singapore and Sydney.
