What we find most exciting about the Los Angeles lineup is they are discussing the potential for local air transit (flying cars?) and the decarbonization of urban infrastructure, as well as digital and physical connectivity.

How to fix the housing crisis, reinvent mobility and increase smart data sharing
Cities of the future will share smart data to keep infrastructure running smoothly. Cities will run on clean power, and more than ever before cities are considering the lifecycle of buildings and materials in the urban built environment to make smart investments for the future. Cities of tomorrow need to withstand climate change worsened natural disasters, increase equitable access to water and electricity and the internet and help citizens get around in ways that are sustainable for people and the planet.

Additionally, this year’s event focuses on infrastructure reinvestment. L.A. is currently figuring out how to host both the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympic Games. It’s prime time to plan the future infrastructure of the city to better serve the public, withstand natural disasters and rely on sustainable energy for power.
Goals of the conference include:
- – Dramatically increase housing supply and tackle homelessness, while we also decarbonize the built environment.
- – Reinvent transit and mobility through smart data-sharing and new technologies.
- – The new public-private partnership, and how it can deliver tech-enabled infrastructure.
- – Use design, technology and renewable energy systems to decarbonize urban operations.
- – Add new urban innovations like electric urban aviation to its infrastructure.
- – Create both digital and physical connectivity.
- – Weave resiliency into new and rebuilt infrastructure.
“We can’t talk about the world’s great cities without talking about L.A.,” said CityAge Managing Director Alon Marcovici. “We’re thrilled to be back in Los Angeles and to envision a future post-Olympics, post-World Cup L.A. region. This event’s all-star lineup of speakers and attendees, along with L.A.’s spirit of innovation and ambitions for the future are part of what attracts us to L.A. time and time again.”
