They will be joined by specialists from a wide range of industries, including government, finance, technology, architecture, construction, transport, tourism 1

Participating cities: King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), Saudi Arabia King Abdullah Economic City is one of the largest and most significant economic projects run by the private sector in the Middle East.

This planned metropolis is a model of sustainable, city-scale development and includes commercial office space, residences, retail shops, hotels and a wealth of civic facilities. Mr. John Rossant, Founder and Chairman of the New Cities Foundation, said: The phenomenon of new cities will have a major impact on all our lives. Billions of dollars are being invested into these urban mega projects, and if we don t plan them right, the consequences will be dramatic and far-reaching. We designed Cityquest KAEC Forum as a vital moment to promote frank exchange and pragmatic discussion about the biggest challenges city leaders and builders need to tackle, right now, in order for these very diverse metropolises to flourish, attract people and business, and impact positively on the world economy. It s time to talk about our urban future. Mr. Fahd Al-Rasheed, Managing Director and CEO of King Abdullah Economic City, said: We are committed to making Cityquest - KAEC Forum a rewarding and memorable experience for participants, where business and thought leaders have access to great stores of knowledge and experience.
