Continued extraordinary population growth and urbanization demand solutions from business and industry. Sustainable development requires that markets become more inclusive, transparent and responsive to the needs of the population, particularly in the areas of affordable housing, transit oriented development, economic diversity, environmental and energy sustainability, and integrated urban planning. Business and industry's expertise and knowledge are essential for the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the New Urban Agenda. We are committed to concrete actions to make the world's cities affordable, inclusive, safe and resilient. This Networking event will bring together professionals working across many disciplines, regions and industries to share best practices, innovation, capacity building and methods for the mobilization of financial resources to increase urban prosperity and opportunities for all.
