showing America - and the world - how to build the future

The United States is carrying out an historic reinvestment in its infrastructure and cities.

As host to both the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympic Games, the 2029 version of Los Angeles can show America - and the world - how to build that future.

It’s now the time to do it.

CityAge is proud to return to Los Angeles on May 25 to highlight how LA and its region can:

Re-invent transit and mobility through smart data-sharing and new technologies

Implement anti-displacement strategies and other initiatives to ensure equitable distribution of the economic benefits of major events

Revitalize public-private partnerships, and deliver tech-enabled infrastructure

Use design, technology and renewable energy systems to decarbonize urban operations

Add new urban innovations like electric urban aviation to its infrastructure

Foster both digital and physical connectivity

Weave resiliency into new and rebuilt infrastructure

We invite you to join us May 25 for our in-person CityAge Los Angeles.
