CityLab 2021 will bring together local leaders and experts to share innovative ideas and scalable solutions to move communities forward. As cities face the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, they must begin to rebuild and restore local economies, address social injustice and inequity, advance climate goals, and deliver vital services to residents in new and better ways.

This year’s CityLab will be held virtually and hosted by four cities that led the world in their responses to COVID-19: Bogotá, Colombia; Freetown, Sierra Leone; Helsinki, Finland; and San Francisco, U.S.A.
