The Special Edition of the APCS will be held completely online, focusing on urban development in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as serious urban problems caused by the pandemic and delays in achieving the SDGs. With this new online format of the Summit, we aim to expand the network of the APCS by encouraging the participation of a wider variety of stakeholders than ever before, including city leaders, international organizations, and private companies with expert knowledge.
