The 4th Annual Arab Future Cities Summit will be held under the patronage of the Ministry of Infrastructure Development, on 30th - 31st October, 2017 in Dubai.

The event will emphasise on the future opportunities and evolving technologies to counter the challenges faced and achieve Dubai's ambitions for being one of the world’s most connected and sustainable 'Smart Cities' – in time for Expo 2020.

With more than 400 participants from the region and different parts of the world, the event will be attended by Jameela Al Fandi, General Manager of the Zayed Housing Programme, and a number of officials at the housing sector. They will address current trends for establishing future cities as per the latest technologies in terms of energy efficiency and protection of the environment.

The summit provides all parties concerned with a good opportunity to get posted on the latest technologies and best practices in the field by engaging experts and decision makers from different countries that have a long experience in this field, added the minister.
