Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC), the leading international event on cities and smart urban solutions organised by Fira de Barcelona, will take place on November 19-21 in Barcelona under the theme Cities Made of Dreams. The Spanish National URBACT Point will organise an Open Dialogue on URBACT programme’s learnings on November 19th. Join us at the most important event about Smart Cities in the world!

Between November 19 and 21, Barcelona will become the world capital of smart cities: the Fira de Barcelona - located in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, municipality that leads the URBACT Transfer Network OnStage - will be the scene of the Smart City Expo World Congress 2019 (#SCEWC19). URBACT will be present at this global impact congress, since from the Spanish National URBACT Point will organise, as we did in last year's edition, a session about the programme and its networks.

Under the theme Cities Made of Dreams the show and congress will reflect on the transformation that metropolises have experienced in the past decade, how many solutions that seemed sheer daydreaming back then are now reality and how we have the tools turn more dreams into reality in the near future.

The congress program will be structured in 5 themes: Digital Transformation, Urban Environment, Mobility, Governance & Finance, and Inclusive & Sharing Cities. It will alsocover topics such as Data-driven Cities, 5G and the future of Connectivity, Resilient Cities, Gentrification, Innovative Transport Systems, Multilevel Governance, Sharing and Collaborative Economy, Circular Economy and Cities for All. In 2019, the event will be jointly held with Smart Mobility Congress.
