If this is not enough of a firework for you, you can find many more independent international conferences on urban issues during October on the website Urban Conferences 2022/2023/2024

The listed conferences and those on conferenceindex.org provide a breathtaking picture on the many conferences related to urban sustainability during the time of Urban October.
It is good that there are so many activities on promoting urban development. The choice in the side of participants. However, one can attend (in person) only one event at a time and considering climate and multiple other crises drawing our resources and time I wonder if the multitude of international conferences is a sustainable approach. At least, alternatives should be explored to make Urban October and urban activities around the year and the globe most effective, efficient and sustainable.
