Breaking through as one: looking ahead to the World Congress and Summit of Local and Regional Leaders  

In a little over a month, the city of Daejeon, Korea, will welcome key urban and regional leaders and thinkers from around the world in order to advance the sustainable urbanisation agenda. The theme chosen for the event – only the 7th such occasion – is local and regional governments breaking through as one. IFLA President Barbara Lison will be attending, and has sent the following message.

UCLG 7th World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders

Every three years, United Cities and Local Governments organises the World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders, bringing together mayors and senior city and regional officials from around the world. This is an opportunity to share and take inspiration from the work of local government everywhere, in support of sustainable urbanisation.
