Citieslab proudly contributed to and supported Young Planners Talks, one of the programs featured as part of the International Conference of Asia-Pacific Planning Societies (ICAPPS) 2026, held on Wednesday, August 19, 2026.

Young Planners Talks is an informal storytelling forum designed to celebrate the perspectives of the next generation of urban thinkers. Bringing together young planners from across the Asia-Pacific region, the forum provided a space for participants to share authentic experiences, local challenges, and practical lessons from their own city-making journeys.

As part of the event, Citieslab hosted an interactive booth where participants could engage directly with Citieslab’s activities, share their thoughts and aspirations for the future of cities, and exchange ideas with fellow young planners and urban practitioners. The booth became a space for informal conversations, knowledge exchange, and meaningful interactions throughout the event.

Through its support for Young Planners Talks, Citieslab continues to contribute to platforms that empower young urban thinkers and encourage cross-regional learning. This involvement reflects Citieslab’s commitment to fostering an open and collaborative community where emerging planners can connect, share experiences, and contribute their perspectives to the future of cities across the Asia-Pacific region.
