City Pavilion
A crucial time for our cities
Cities are critical places that are relied on for employment and the livelihoods of most of their country’s population, while they’re also where industries, commerce and services develop the fastest. Yet they face mounting pressures from challenges in public safety, healthcare, education and utilities, as well as infrastructure and climate change.
Best practices and proven solutions for smart cities
Digital technologies offer a pathway to resilient, intelligent and people-centred urban futures. The new City Pavilion is here at MWC26 Shanghai to:
- Showcase the innovations that are leading smart city transformations – powered by robust connectivity, interoperable payments and open data platforms
- Share the best practices in their deployment so cities around the world can benefit
- Promote the industries and businesses involved – including SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) – to attract external investment
- Develop participating cities’ reputations as smart city leaders on a global platform
