Panel Debate: Urban Development in an Era of Geopolitical Change

Join us for a panel debate with Michela Magas (Director of Research and Innovation at the Industry Commons Foundation), Helle Søholt (CEO, Gehl Architects) & Indy Johar (Executive Director, Dark Matter Labs). Moderator is Andrew Dubber.

As cities become the frontline of global challenges, urban development is no longer just a local issue. It is deeply entangled in the geopolitical currents shaping our era. This high-level panel brings together visionary thinkers who are redefining the role of cities in a fragmented world order. They will explore how urban design, governance, and innovation must evolve in the face of rising polarization, shifting power dynamics, and systemic risks.
