We work to improve urban life.
Cities Forum 2024
Fifty-six percent of the world’s population currently lives in cities. By 2050, this figure is expected to be closer to 70 percent. It is therefore essential to ensure that cities adapt to the human scale and become increasingly welcoming places.
Last June, the 6th edition of the Cities Forum was held in Madrid. It addressed the main urban challenges from the perspective of new economies and strategies that enable changes in planning, decarbonization, circularity, digitalization, nature-based solutions, social innovation and new sustainable mobility.
The event featured more than 150 speakers and 26 round tables.
Our colleague Manuela Casado participated as a speaker in Mobility: quality of public space, a session focused on pedestrianization, proximity policies that rebalance the city and make it more sociable and sustainable, and all the challenges facing the implementation of these transformations.
Under the title: The city as a possible world: the new tramway as a catalyst for urban regeneration and the creation of a new green infrastructure in Guatemala, she approached the feasibility study developed by IDOM from the perspective of urban integration, landscaping, pedestrian mobility and the design of public space, always placing the person as the protagonist of the world we want to create.
Ana Montalbán Navas, Patxi J. Lamíquiz, Juan Murillo, Marta García and Camilo Osorio, from different associations, universities and companies, completed the round table.
