The theme for WCS 2026 is Liveable and Sustainable Cities: ACT Now!
Accelerate, Collaborate, and Transform – to create more liveable, resilient, and sustainable cities.
The biennial World Cities Summit (WCS) is a global platform for government leaders and industry experts to address liveable and sustainable city challenges, share integrated urban solutions and forge new partnerships. Since 2008, WCS has seen the participation of over 250 cities from around the world, represented by leaders from government, business, international organisations and academia.
The 10th edition of the World Cities Summit will be held from 14 to 16 June 2026, in Singapore. This 3-day event comprises the main conference and other key events such as the Mayors Forum, WCS Young Leaders Symposium, the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize, the Science of Cities Symposium, and an exhibition.
CEO, Amanda Sturgeon, will be joining the summit as a plenary speaker.
