Welcome to
ARAB FUTURE CITIES SUMMIT 2013
"Smart Solutions for Sustainable Cities"
22-23 April 2013, St. Regis Doha - Qatar

Under the patronage of
H.E. Sheikh Abdul Rahman Bin Khalifa Al Thani
Minister for Municipality and Urban Planning, State of Qatar

Due to the huge success of the 2012 event which had over 300 delegates, we are excited to announce the 2nd Arab Future Cities Summit which will be held on the 22nd - 23rd April, 2013 at St. Regis, Doha.

Increasing urbanization, climate change, and decreasing natural resources mean that cities need to evolve, adapt and “future-proof” themselves to ensure that they are competitive and fit for purpose. Smart, sustainable, future cities are engines of growth, creating jobs and providing better places to live, work and grow. They are interconnected, use natural resources efficiently and optimize their potential to attract talent and international investment.

The second annual Arab Future Cities Summit will once again gather together city leaders, Government officials, academics, urban service providers and city development experts to share experiences, smart thinking and best practice for implementing the smart cities of tomorrow.

The Summit is an international platform for the transfer of knowledge, allowing leaders of municipalities to learn from the pioneers of smart city concepts and technologies. The event is unparalleled in the Middle East for its peer-to-peer learning experience and excellent networking opportunities, aiding leaders and key stakeholders of municipalities to develop a secure and robust infrastructure that is fit for purpose for all citizens and achieves a more sustainable future.
