1 The Future of Urban Innovation Cities as engines for social inclusion Pre-Com Meeting: CITIES FOR LIFE, Paris 2016 Quito Oct. 17th and 18th, 2016 AGENDA How can we build a future where cities harness the power of innovation and technology to become engines of social inclusion?

2 Summary WHAT? It is not too much to say that there is plenty urban innovation in the making today. Various ongoing citizen and government initiatives alike attempt to rethink, reimagine and redesign the cities we live in. But, what about the future? How are we to sustain these projects and scale impact in the long run? What are the dynamics we wish to see between different stakeholders locally, regionally and worldwide so that innovation ecosystems consolidate? And last, but not least, how can we build a future where cities harness the power of technology and become engines of social inclusion? This event will be looking at how innovation can be harnessed to better understand and deliver inclusive and sustainable urban development. Ergo, this is an open call to reflect on urban innovation and to ponder on strategies for building an effective global collaboration ecosystem in order to build a future with such characteristics. During the event participants will have the opportunity: 1. to exchange ideas with high-level officials from cities such as Paris and San Francisco; 2. to see first-hand the work of governmental innovation hubs such as Ruta N from the the City of Medellin and Linq, from Quito 3. to become familiar with global organizations steering the future of innovation such as People for Global Transformation (PGT) and Youthful Cities. Participants will be exposed top-level urban innovation leaders from around the world and sit at the table to discuss the future of urban development, framed around the need for more social inclusion.

3 WHY? Habitat III is the Third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, which will take place in Ecuador October 17th - 20th, It is the place where the New Urban Agenda is agreed upon, and for which a global alliance of civil society organizations, government agencies and municipalities has come together to organize the Cities For Life Prep-Com Meeting, The Future of Urban Innovation: Cities as engines for social inclusion, an Habitat III Side Event, will take place on Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th of October, at PUCE University. This event will address the different processes and best practices of urban innovation that allow for more inclusive cities. Such cases will be presented during the event and further taken as a step stone to reflect on the future. Habitat III provides the opportunity to reflect on these issues and impact the global agenda with relevant proposals for solutions. Cities play a crucial role addressing the global challenges of inclusion. This year, the combined wealth of the richest 1 percent will take over that of the other 99 percent. Our world is going through an unprecedented wave of urbanization, with over half of the population living in cities and nearly seventy percent projected by Cities are the main source of global economic growth, innovation and productivity; they have historically been an engine of social mobility, carrying out a large part of public spending. Cities also account for most resource consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and have seen inequalities soar in the last decades. Inclusion is a complex and multifaceted challenge that goes beyond income inequalities. In their pursue of urban development, cities wish to address the legitimate needs of all its inhabitants -in terms of education, labor, housing, environment, infrastructure and public services- enhancing people s livelihoods, and ensuring that everyone is included in city governance. Cities are looking for a new lens that focuses on living standards and well-being outcomes. They are also looking for new indicators, new policy tools and tangible solutions to deliver inclusive growth and development. For this reason, we have decided to run a global consultation exercise that involves citizens and stakeholders from around the world in the discussion and solution of these complex challenges. Starting September 2016 and running through Habitat III, the consultation will culminate at the Cities for Life Global Meeting 2016 to be held in Paris November The goal of this exercise will be to gather insights on ways to deliver inclusive urban development and to plug these findings back into the recommendations of Habitat III and Cities for Life Paris The consultation will be carried out through the collective intelligence platform Assembl.

5 Objectives 1. Foster an ecosystem of collaboration: We envisage this event as a crucial activity to further expand and foster the network of cities that believe in open innovation as a tool to integrate knowledge and propose solutions to pressing issues. The Cities for Life global ecosystem and platform will show the benefits of implementing digital and territorial innovation processes based on citizen cocreation. 2. Think forward on the new trends of urban innovation: Reflecting on the future requires understanding what is being done currently and what being done right. This event will serve as an opportunity to evaluate initiatives that have proven successful in the realm of social inclusion. It will also be a chance to reflect altogether over how to scale their impact. 3. Engage citizens physically and digitally: The insights gathered during event will be added to a global digital consultation on inclusive cities. The goal of this civic engagement exercise is to involve Habitat III attendees, as well as stakeholders and citizens from around the world, in the discussion of these complex challenges, and collaboratively find opportunities to deliver more inclusive urban development.
