We will remember 2020 as the ‘year of all crises’: health, economic, social, environmental and political. The world around us has never seemed so uncertain. The ULI Belgium Annual Conference 2020 presents the opportunity to sit down, think and share views on what the future may bring.

Part II: What’s Next for Cities?

Cities rebooted: repair and prepare, for and with, the next generationThis is not the premature end of the urban century, but rather the start of a new cycle in the redistribution of places to work and live. It has big implications for how government and businesses think about urban economies, land-use housing, transport, technologies and wellbeing. Cities will have two populations: resident and virtual. What does this mean for real estate? Which cities are leading the way on this new path? How well placed is Belgium to succeed?  After a keynote speech from Carlo Ratti, Professor of the Practice Department of Urban Studies and Planning, MIT, leaders in both the public and private sectors will debate the future of cities.
