Strengthening Urban Resilience – Key enablers for Dynamic and Resilient Cities
When: September 22, 3:05-3:55 pm
Where: 50 Hudson Yards
About: In this high-level session, key urban leaders will discuss how cities can strengthen their competitiveness and liveability in an increasingly complex global landscape. It will furthermore highlight actionable solutions and strategies for addressing emerging challenges – from housing affordability to climate resilience.
As part of this session, Ramboll, Urban Partners, and BLOXHUB will launch The Copenhagen Way: a new report capturing Copenhagen’s transformative journey to a global model of competitiveness, resilience, and inclusivity. The report provides both inspiration and actionable steps for cities worldwide seeking ways to combine urban regeneration, climate resilience, and social equity. Building on the report as inspiration, the discussions in the session will be forward-looking and evolve around the key question: which strategic choices must cities make today to secure a resilient and competitive future?

New York City& City of Copenhagen Celebration Symposium
Ten Years of Climate Collaboration: Lessons Learned and Opportunities for the Future
When: September 25 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM & Reception from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM
Where: CUNY
About: This interactive symposium will consist of a morning and afternoon session. The morning session is being co-hosted by the NYC DEP, the City of Copenhagen and the CUNY-C3/Science and Resilience Institute and will focus on the New York and Copenhagen collaboration – how it has evolved, lessons learned, and next steps. We will discuss the Cloudburst Programs in each city - how it has grown in Copenhagen over the years, and how it is being adapted for implementation in NYC.
The afternoon session, co-hosted by Ramboll, C40 Cities, and the CUNY-C3/Science and Resilience Institute, will focus on leveraging these lessons-learned, with an eye toward the future. Specifically, we will explore opportunities and mechanisms for broadening the NYC/Copenhagen sister city reach, with collaboration across cities and sectors, to build integrated networks for addressing climate challenges – and provide inspiration that challenges traditional thinking.
Following the symposium there will be a reception from 5:30-7:30 hosted by Ramboll and the CUNY-C3/Science and Resilience Institute.
