The set of sessions is ideal for local governments and developers of large-scale projects.

Cities house around 56% of the global population, and this number will likely only increase in the coming decades, with a significant portion of infrastructure investment around the world allocated to urban projects. As cities pick up the pace and race toward a sustainable future, the LEED for Cities and Communities rating system has emerged as a yardstick for measuring and improving performance. It empowers projects to meticulously track their journey to greater sustainability, offering a global benchmark for comparison.

Since its inception, this rating system has evolved significantly, aligning with market shifts, and addressing diverse sustainability imperatives, including ESG and net zero commitments. By setting deliberate goals, adopting best practices, measuring advancements and achieving certification, cities and communities worldwide are transforming into hubs of resilience and equity.
