The event's launch is timely in Building maintenance being demonstrated
addressing the future urban
planning requirements, as World Bank’s projections indicate that by 2080, 80% of the world's
population will reside in cities, with a substantial portion of this growth occurring in the MEASA
region.

Running for three days from November 26 to 28 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, LiveableCitiesX
will be co-located with FutureFM, redefining facilities management and GeoWorld, transforming
industries with geospatial excellence. The events will together spotlight master planning
opportunities and the latest technologies that are reshaping cities worldwide.

Deep understanding
"With our track record of hosting top-tier global events like Big 5 Global, The Hotel Show, Index and
Adipec, we're now introducing LiveableCitiesX. This event leverages our deep understanding and
experience to facilitate thought leadership, investment, networking and sustainable urban
development in our fast-changing world.

“LiveableCitiesX will bring together government officials, scholars, urban planners, financial experts,
designers, businesses, and tech innovators from around the world. By doing so, we're highlighting
the importance of being proactive about urban trends and the value of collaboration among all
parties to build better cities for the future," stated Matt Denton, President of dmg events.

“With its ultra-modern social and economic infrastructure, safe living environment, accessibility to
other international markets, world-class facilities and being positioned at the heart of a region
experiencing rapid growth and abundant investment opportunities, Dubai is firmly established as one
of the most liveable cities in the world, making the city and the UAE an ideal choice as the host
country for the inaugural LiveableCitiesX event.”

Future of urban cities
As various regions worldwide increasingly emphasise economic, social and environmental resilience
in shaping the future of urban cities, a rising number of governments are spearheading city
development initiatives that harness technology, geospatial innovation, avant-garde architecture and
progressive concepts like regenerative and parametric design, artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D
printing, big data, and virtual reality. Among such notable projects are THE LINE by NEOM in Saudi
