The Cities & Infrastructure Stage is where urban transformation meets practical action. Taking place at Excel London on 23-24 June 2026, this flagship stage at Reset Connect London brings together city planners, infrastructure leaders, developers and policymakers to explore how to build more resilient, sustainable and inclusive urban environments.
With population growth, climate pressures and rising stakeholder expectations, the focus is on moving from planning to delivery. This stage examines practical strategies for implementing climate-smart, environmentally friendly and socially inclusive infrastructure solutions.
Here's what you can expect:
-
Transform urban environments at scale by applying sustainable planning and development strategies
-
Strengthen resilience to climate and population pressures by integrating adaptive infrastructure and risk management approaches
-
Embed sustainability into city and infrastructure planning by aligning environmental, social and economic priorities
-
Accelerate innovation through collaboration by leveraging cross-sector partnerships, technology and data
-
Build cities people want to live in by creating inclusive, climate-smart and future-ready urban spaces
Across two days of panels and discussions, you will gain practical insights into designing resilient cities, implementing sustainable infrastructure projects and driving long-term urban transformation.
