We are pleased to share the announcement of the fourth edition of the New cities Summit organised by our partners New Cities Foundation that will take place on June 9-11, 2015 in Jakarta, the vibrant capital of Indonesia. The celebrated annual event gathers some 800 of the world’s leading decision-makers, mayors, CEOs, entrepreneurs, thinkers, artists and innovators. The New Cities Summit fosters positive urban change through cross-sector network building, cutting-edge forums and action-oriented discussion. This year Jakarta was selected by the New Cities Foundation as host city for the 2015 Summit in order to address specific challenges and opportunities faced by Asian metropolises. Indonesian capital is first Asian city to host Summit following Europe (Paris), Latin America (São Paulo) and North America (Dallas). You can read in the Jakarta post an interesting Opinion piece, written by John Rossant and Mathieu Lefevre, about the urban challenges and opportunities in Indonesia. The theme for the 2015 New Cities Summit is "Seizing the Urban Moment: Cities at the Heart of Growth and Development".
The program for the Jakarta New Cities Summit 2015 will be announced shortly. For regular updates, follow the New Cities Foundation’s Twitter page, @newcitiesfound -#ncs2015.
