Welcome to the first edition of the IHC Global weekly event roundup!
COVID-19 has changed the way the world meets and exchanges knowledge. During this time, urban practitioners, academics, stakeholders, INGOs, and civil society have been more active than ever in engaging critical urban issues online. In some ways, the shift to virtual events provides the opportunity for more transnational and cross-cultural engagement, as it has become possible to attend events in different time zones and on different continents.
But, it can be difficult to keep track of everything that is happening online. That is why IHC Global is now providing an urban event resource to learn about upcoming virtual events on cities, land and housing, water and sanitation, gender and women's empowerment, data and technology, and other critical development areas.
We would love to hear from you! If you are hosting or would like to advertise an event relating to any of the areas above, please reach out. We would be happy to share your event!
