Summary

The Center of Science and Technology Industrial Development of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of People’s Republic of China and Fuzhou Municipal People’s Government jointly propose this partner-led event in order to respond to the WUF12 theme. The proposed event plans to explore Dialogues 3, namely “Stronger Together”, and strengthen partnerships to bring global goals to local realities, highlighting the power of collaboration in driving localized progress.

The Center of Science and Technology Industrial Development is a subordinate research center to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, which aims to promote good houses and sustainable development of cities, communities and neighborhoods, and actively promote a series of activities in relation to the World Cities Day every year. As one of the five winners for the first cycle of the Global Award for Sustainable Development in Cities, Fuzhou is committed to being a role model in promoting global sustainability, implementing the UN “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, and the “New Urban Agenda”.

Objectives

The event aims to share experience of good houses, livable communities and sustainable cities. Together with cities around the world, we are committed to fostering a sustainable development community, providing an inclusive, open, and forward-thinking platform for exchange. In the upcoming WUF12, where we will profoundly explore Dialogue 3 “Stronger Together,” we emphasize our belief in the power of collaboration and shared learning to drive urban sustainability.

We actively invite cities worldwide to participate in the event, not only to share their unique perspectives and experience but also to establish close partnerships and collaboration. Through these interactions, we aim to ensure the participation of governments, citizens, businesses, and all other stakeholders in fostering resilience, inclusivity, and sustainability.

In conclusion, this event will feature a dedicated dialogue on “Stronger Together: Forging Urban Partnerships for Sustainable Development”. Here, cities will explore ways to collaborate effectively, leveraging their collective strengths to tackle common challenges and advance the implementation of the UN “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, and the “New Urban Agenda”.
