Global, based Singapore · 2024 to present
An annual convening reimagined as a lifelong learning fellowship and learning lab, held as a track inside the tenth anniversary edition of the World Cities Summit in Singapore.
What the ground was
A standalone annual convening carrying an urban field that worked in parallel across continents, publishing separately and rarely meeting.
What was made
The convening was reimagined as a lifelong learning fellowship and a learning lab, carried as a track within the tenth anniversary edition of the World Cities Summit in Singapore, anchored by an uncommon fellowship of radical optimists, with a direct investment of USD 135,000 into IP equitization as a strategy for renewal. We joined in 2024 and the work continues.
What changed
The convening now sits inside the largest gathering in its field rather than beside it, and its intellectual property carries value that outlasts any single edition.
