Paris, a city renowned for its architectural grandeur, urban rigour and charm, has long been a beacon of inspiration for city-makers around the world. With its blend of historical trademarks and innovation, the French capital has the privileged opportunity—and the responsibility—to redefine what it means to be a city of the future. In an era of rapid urban growth, climate change, and increasing mental health challenges in city dwellers, how can cities evolve to become more resilient, inclusive, and restorative spaces for all?

This event will explore innovative strategies for urban regeneration, focusing on three key themes:

• Combating global climate change through forward-thinking urban planning and sustainable design.

• Fostering stronger, more connected communities by embracing participatory and collaborative design approaches.

• Designing cities that promote mental and physical well-being, ensuring that urban environments actively support human health and happiness.

The event is structured in two intertwining parts:

• Guest Speaker Presentations – Two leading experts will share their groundbreaking work and insights on the future of healing cities.

• Panel Discussion – chaired by Pierre Longhini, architect, entrepreneur, and fellow at the CCD, this panel will bring together distinguished guests from the fields of neuroscience, architecture, urban design and engineering to discuss how interdisciplinary collaboration can drive urban innovation.

Be part of the conversation. Discover how urban spaces can transform into catalysts for healing, sustainability, and human connection.
