Cities are the cornerstone of the global economy and are home to the majority of the world's ever-growing population. From the COVID-19 Pandemic to climate change, the most overcrowded cities have become a major focus as global challenges mount. The ability of cities to withstand current and future crises will determine our economic future and the living standards of billions of people.

To lay the groundwork for more future-ready and sustainable cities, create collaborative frameworks for global business leaders and other stakeholders and support cities and urban economies, the World Economic Forum has created the Internet of Things and Urban Transformation platform.

In this direction, World Economic is working with more than 100 global partners to make the changes more sustainable and ensure a prosperous future for all.
