Cities are nodes of development and a source of opportunities. With development arises challenges and one among them is rising GHG emissions in Cities. To mitigate the risks and reduce emissions and its associated infrastructure uncertainties, we transitioned from Cities to zoned Central Business District (CBDs) to resolve issues of congestion, employment and pollution and then structurally created Smart Cities however its time to question ourselves and introspect whether Cities need to be Smart our its citizens and their actions and participation, the answer would be definitely citizens, an empowered and participatory citizens can shape the dynamics of Cities. As though Smart Cities solved our issues, we are evolving in constant evolution in emissions and its impact. So in order to size this priority issue of concern let's transition from Smart to Systemic Cities and also its citizens being Systemic in approach and participation.

With this thought leadership to accelerate this event is planned, Solicit many of thr folks for participation for strengthening the purpose of Cities and its citizens.
