As global attention to sustainable development continues to grow, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming a core technology driving urban governance and development. From Europe’s smart traffic systems to AI-based energy optimization solutions in Asia, AI is revolutionizing urban operations by enhancing efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. This forum will delve into how AI is shaping the future of smart infrastructure, energy systems, and urban mobility, highlighting its transformative role in sustainable city development.

By fostering global city-to-city exchanges, this forum will showcase real-world AI applications in urban sustainability while addressing the challenges, risks, and ethical considerations that come with its deployment. Together, we will explore strategies to harness AI’s full potential in accelerating the transition toward greener, more resilient cities.
