2. MOSCOW URBAN FORUM
The Moscow Urban Forum is an annual international conference on urban
development, architecture, economics, and strategic urban planning.
The Forum has been held annually since 2011 under the aegis of the Moscow
Government and with the personal participation of Sergey Sobyanin, the Mayor of
Moscow.
The Forum has established itself as a recognised international platform for
discussions, finding solutions and networking among experts, city managers and
representatives of the business community.
Opportunities and challenges relevant for modern megalopolises are openly
discussed at the Forum, and perspectives of their development are not only seen
in the context of economics and effective management, but also from the
viewpoint of city residents.
