- Abstract
Today, the world is more urban than ever before, and this is increasing every year. According to the United Nations, it is expected that 75% of people will call a city their home in 2050. This progressive concentration of population in cities makes them the synthesis of the main challenges of our world, but, at the same time, a powerful catalyst for all the innovations and transformations that we need to boost at a global level.
At this turning point, however, many questions arise. How can cities create and attract sustainable opportunities while improving people's lives? How can we harness digitalization and technological disruption to make our cities more inclusive and humane while decarbonizing the planet? Which cities are leading —and how— the response to the challenges that will mark our future as humanity? The potential of innovation to undertake all these interlinked missions is enormous and, in her keynote, Pilar Conesa, global pioneer of the Smart City, will highlight the importance of unlocking it from cities while offering inspiring examples to do so successfully.
