The Cities Hub & Bar is where urban innovation meets practical action. Taking place at Excel London on 23-24 June 2026 as part of Reset Connect London, this hub brings together urban planners, policymakers, architects, local leaders and sustainability experts to explore projects transforming cities into greener, more resilient and community-focused spaces.
From low-carbon infrastructure and smart city innovations to sustainable housing, green mobility and nature-based solutions, this hub offers a platform to discover initiatives that prioritise both climate action and social impact. The hub also hosts dedicated sessions for the sustainable events industry, providing a space to share updates, case studies and best practices for climate-conscious events.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Explore strategies for building resilient, low-carbon cities through smart planning, green infrastructure and sustainable urban design
- Discover investment models and funding opportunities to drive climate resilience, urban regeneration and inclusive development
- Learn how cities are adopting low-emission mobility, active travel and smart transport systems to reduce urban carbon footprints
- Connect with policymakers, businesses and communities to scale sustainable, equitable and climate-ready solutions
Across two days of interactive discussions, case studies and in-person sessions, you will gain practical insight into shaping urban environments that balance environmental performance, social equity and long-term resilience.
