Game-Changing Innovations for Future Cities

The inaugural Circular Cities Summit 1.0 (CCS), themed “Game-Changing Innovations for Future Cities” will be held in Singapore on 14 and 15 November 2023. The summit marks the beginning of a transformative journey to advance the concept of circular cities and to work towards achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a special emphasis on Goal 11 which is making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.

A key highlight of the summit will be the signing of the all-important Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) by three world-leading professional organisations, namely International Federation of Landscape Architects1 (IFLA), International Society of City and Regional Planners2 (ISOCARP), and the World Federation of Engineering Organizations3 (WFEO). This MOU not only defines and reinforces the unique role of each profession but also celebrates their shared commitment to ethical practices that enhance the quality of life for humanity. The MOU signals to the world the significance of a united front in the battle against the global climate crisis, thus aligning with SDG 13 – Climate Action.
