The 2015 World Cities Summit Mayors Forum focuses on "Innovative Cities of Opportunity," to foster discussion on best practices in urban policy innovation and encourage collaboration among city leaders.

The four main sessions focus on Housing and Economic Development, Transportation and Mobility, Sustainability and Resiliency, and Education and Competitiveness. A number of keynotes by thought leaders in sustainable urban planning and development and inspiring city case studies will lead into each of the four sessions.

The session on Sustainability and Resiliency, with Margareta Wahlström, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction, United Nations as a keynote speaker, will address issues of climate change, population shifts, strained infrastructure, and the evolving global economy, and attempt to address the challenges posed by these to every city’s success.
