Leading the AI-Powered City: Governance, Technology and Urban Services

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in the way cities are planned, managed and operated, it is reshaping the way public institutions and urban service providers work.

This plenary will explore how cities can steer the AI transition for greater public value and better urban outcomes.
