Competitive Cities Conference 2012

Housing.

Urban Development.

Communities.

 

As urbanisation ramps up into the twenty-first century, cities will compete for investment, resources and talent. Whatever your interest in cities, the Competitive Cities Conference is your ultimate opportunity to keep ahead of the curve. Hear about what consumers will want; new dynamics in development economics and accessing finance; bleeding-edge techniques for faster and more cost-effective construction; and new development models that can help you maximise returns.

This is the not-to-be-missed conference of 2012.

Our Speakers.

It is our mission to find the most passionate, engaging and relevant  global and national thinkers on urban development: those who have compelling stories to tell and love sharing what they’ve learned with others. We are still in the process of recruiting top speakers for the upcoming event – those below represent a selection of the world-class speakers presenting at our conference– and will add to our already impressive list of presenters in the upcoming weeks. Please keep checking back! Click their photo for more information.
