Living with Nature: How can New York City enhance it’s natural environment and cope with climate change? Getting around: How can we make it easier for people to get into and around the city? The future city lab gives you the opportunity to interact with these issues and imagining the city’s future by designing a street, a building, and a park and to discover ways of addressing the challenges.

The goal of the conference was promote equally shared opportunities and to promote sustainable management of natural resources in cities. Nations were brought together to understand the challenges, share perspectives on solutions. A common vision and purpose was shared on the societal benefits of urban development to enable the poor and disadvantage members of our communities to develop to their potential. The conference will also focus on bridging the gap between the urban rich and poor. The new urban agenda is a roadmap for achieving sustainable development goals. It will help us to rethink how we plan, manage and live in cities. The key commitments of the urban agenda are
