Invitation to the webinar “Planning Cities of the Future”
Register for the webinar “Planning cities of the Future”, which will take place on 9 July 2026, from 13:00 to 14:30. The webinar is organized by ODRAZ, the Secretariat of the CIVINET Slo-Cro-SEE, in cooperation with the Association of Cities in Republic of Croatia.
Considering climate change, demographic challenges, changing mobility patterns and a growing need for high-quality public spaces, planning cities of the future requires new approaches and a broader understanding of urban development. Cities of the future are not only smart and technologically advanced, but above all inclusive, accessible and resilient spaces that respond to the needs of all citizens and protect their health.
Through expert presentations, we will discuss the links between urban planning, health, mobility, public space and social inclusion, with an emphasis on approaches that place people and their everyday needs at the center.
Expert presentations will be delivered by:
- Kristina Perkov, Institute for Spatial Planning of Šibenik-Knin County
- Gordana Lalić, Parentium d.o.o.
- Petra Grgasović, ERKON
- Marko Ercegović, Association of Cities in Republic of Croatia / URBACT and EUI Contact Point
The webinar will be moderated by Magdalena Ribarić from ODRAZ.
The working language is English.
During the webinar, we will open up questions about what does it mean to plan cities of the future, how healthy urban planning can contribute to quality of life, and why inclusion, accessibility and care for different groups of residents are an important part of sustainable urban development.
The webinar is intended for students and participants of the “Planning Cities of the Future” summer school, representatives of cities and municipalities, public institutions, civil society organisations, experts in urban planning, mobility and sustainable development, as well as everyone interested in reflecting on the cities of the future.
