Panel Summary

Panel 1

Bringing together international academic researchers, urban practitioners and industry experts from around the world to share their scientific knowledge, novel research methodologies and insights on tackling current and emerging urban challenges, the World Cities Summit (WCS) 2024 Science of Cities Symposium was attended by over 200 delegates.

The theme of the first panel at the Symposium was Science of Climate Adaptive Cities, which featured an opening address by Professor Lily Kong from SMU, presentations by two keynote speakers, Professor Thomas Schroepfer from SUTD and SEC-FCL Global, and Professor Barbara Norman from University of Canberra, and five research presenters. The session concluded with an engaging moderated panel discussion.

Panel 2

The Science of Cities Symposium brought together international academic researchers, urban practitioners and industry experts from around the world to share their scientific knowledge, novel research methodologies and insights on tackling current and emerging urban challenges. Held at the World Cities Summit in June 2024, it was attended by over 200 delegates.

This 2nd Panel of the Symposium – Science of People-Centric Cities, featuring presentations by two keynote speakers, Professor M Jae Moon from Yonsei University, and Dr Bree Trevena from Arup, and five research presenters, followed by a moderated Panel Discussion.
