Caring cities are cities that strive to offer a high quality of life, are guided by values such as humanism and sharing, provide comfort and dignity to all their citizens, and deliver solutions that meet their citizens’ needs.
Together, we can define a committed urban agenda and make it easier to build increasingly caring cities. Register today!
We’ll see you in Johannesburg!
