Across the world, states and city regions are facing huge societal, economic and environmental, challenges whose solutions require concerted new efforts imaginative policies and innovative partnerships. The Conference will bring together academia, government, business, and community to share effective practices, and to advance the frontiers of knowledge on collaboration for economic progress, social development and sustainability, and the role of cities and regions as enabling spaces for these interactions.
