Redefining the Future of Cities is an initiative in partnership between seven Impact Hubs, located in Sweden, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, with the aim of raising prospective conversations with experts from different sectors and countries, to show the world how socially responsible companies are taking action on Sustainable Development Goal 11.

This is the last session of the online conference series that began in August. The events consist of experts from two cities to highlight and share best practices from each other.

In this occasion we will discuss SDG 11.A, that focuses on what can be done to support positive economic, social and environmental chains between urban, peri-urban and rural areas, strengthening national and regional development planning.
