Change for Good

Change defines cities. And cities define change. The past year has made it more urgent than ever to do better for our cities and the people who live in them and love them.

WRLDCTY 2021 is designed to inspire real urban innovation so you can help change our cities for good.

“The execution was flawless, and the excitement here in Toronto from our partners (especially the DJ) was very positive”

“WRLDCTY is so intriguing and somehow sparks the spirit to proceed as a worldwide community in these strange times.”

Tita Larasati

Chairman of Bandung Creative City Forum (BCCF), Deputy of Strategic Partnership of Indonesia Creative Cities Network (ICCN)

“I must say you have really put something substantial together with your programme– so many interesting topics. So congratulations!”

WRLDCTY 2020 was a first in every way—urbanites gathered virtually for the world’s premier festival celebrating the people, places and ideas that make cities economic and experiential powerhouses.

From Bjarke Ingels to Richard Florida, Dan Doctoroff to Jeff Speck, our inaugural festival brought together the best city-builders in the world. Watch some of last year’s sessions here.
