Countries and cities around the world are embarking on smart city projects to make their countries and cities smarter. But, how are these smart city projects contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals?

The 5th edition of Cities 4.0 with the overarching theme ‘Local Action, Global Achievement’ is aimed at facilitating discussions and dialogues on strategies for developing a practical roadmap to localise the SDGs for local actions on project implementation and monitoring. The conference will further discuss strategies in building climate-smart cities ranging from measuring urban greenhouse gas emissions to implementing urban vegetation and smart waste management. Various aspects of technological and capacity development in making the success of smart city will also be discussed by the international experts over the two-day conference.
