Future-Fit Cities: Safer, Adaptive Density in a Changing Era

Mark your calendar and plan to join us for the CTBUH 2024 Europe Conference, Future-Fit Cities: Safer, Adaptive Density in a Changing Era, 18 & 19 April, in Istanbul, to explore the obstacles and opportunities facing European cities today.  

With its unique history, economic dynamism, and developing skyline, Istanbul is the perfect stage for a continent-wide debate on the many natural, geopolitical, and technological challenges European cities face in the first decades of the new millennium. With their ever-evolving economies, comparatively strong recoveries after the pandemic, and the effects of climate change now becoming evident, European cities are on the brink of a significant transformation featuring vertical and dense clusters side by side with more historic neighborhoods; will their centuries-old histories and resilience reveal the key for success? Urban planners, developers, architects, and thought leaders will share their insights in an engaging and dynamic debate, populated with case studies and updates on the most relevant innovations from the tall building industry.  

Topics will include: 

• Building resiliency against long-, medium-, and short-notice events 

• Protecting tall buildings from physical and digital threats 

• Dense communities and their success during and after the pandemic 

• Upkeeping and renovating existing high- rise buildings  

• Growing dense capitals in Eastern Europe 

European cities have a long and storied history and an even more promising future. This is a unique opportunity to interact with a diversified group of experts from across the continent, gathering in Istanbul to debate problems and solutions, challenges and best practices, threats and opportunities. 

We'll look forward to seeing you in April!
