About Forum
The Learning Forum is a space for peer-to-peer knowledge sharing focused on the active listening to the diverse realities of major cities and metropolitan spaces around the world.
This space provides a community of city officers and international organisations with a common interest: the opportunity to interact and share information with each other about local experiences and initiatives, news, events, pictures, videos, and papers/documents regarding digitalisation of metropolitan spaces in three different discussions.
