This event was held in collaboration with Tractebel Engie Indonesia and APEKSI, focusing on the outlook of cities in the year 2030. At the onset of the pandemic, the event took a virtual format, featuring a diverse panel of speakers, from urban planning professionals to the city mayor. The aim was to discuss the complexities of urban development in the upcoming decade, addressing challenges posed by uncontrolled urbanization, such as congestion, poverty, and the proliferation of slum areas. 

The impact of disruptive technology on people’s lifestyles added another layer of discussion. The overarching goal was to explore a vision for future city development that tackles social, economic, and environmental issues, striving for a more sustainable and eco-friendly urban landscape. The event also emphasized the need for proactive measures in creating low-carbon cities and building smarter urban environments through information and technology. The Citiestalk series is poised to continue these discussions, providing a platform to explore and propose solutions for future cities, particularly in mitigating the impact of urbanization on sustainability. More than 200 participant was joined and actively participated in this dialogue.
