Cities are the future – urban planners, community leaders and supporting national ministries have huge responsibility for balancing the desires of urban residents with urban growth and resilience. Sometimes these agendas align, other times they do not and as climate change impacts mount there is increasing risk of social, economic and even political tensions. Tomorrow’s Cities allows us to look into this future and realign city development to shape now, avoid potential conflict and enhance growth opportunity.
Founded in 2019, the Tomorrow’s Cities approach has been built by city actors for city actors. International research leaders ensure quality control with city champions providing training and peer support.
Join our community of practice to follow our training programmes and begin a conversation about YOUR TOMORROW’S CITY.
During this journey, the team has built a community of hundreds of researchers, civil society and public sector actors and communities to change the way risk is understood and incorporated in city shaping.
This network now composes the Tomorrow’s Cities Community of Practice, whose core aim is to sustain Tomorrow’s Cities mission, values and ways of working through peer support and exchange.
The Community of Practice provides access to technical support and a means of sharing achievements beyond the deployment of the TCDSE. With access to global and regional financial institutions and development agencies this is also a key forum for a city to undertake international and national advocacy.
