Urban Future Global Conference (UF), which is organized in a different European city every year, will be held in Łódź, Poland on 21-23 May 2025. Marmara Municipalities Union has become the official partner of UF25, where more than 2000 participants and over 250 speakers will come together for three days.

What is Urban Future Global Conference?

The conference, which describes itself as the “Better-Cities Event”, is an opportunity for passionate people who are shaping the future of cities to come together, learn from each other and be inspired. Held in a different European city each year, the conference is a hands-on, ideas-packed gathering for people who care about making cities more sustainable, livable and inspiring. Those working to make cities better can find the ideas, connections and inspiration they need at this conference.

What to expect:

🔸 Three days of deep learning with 250+ urban shapers sharing honest insights - what worked, what didn’t, and what’s next.
🔸 30+ field trips exploring Łódź’s transformation, from industrial past to a future-focused, people-friendly city.
🔸 20+ side events to dive into specific topics and meet like-minded changemakers.
🔸 2,000+ CityChangers ready to share knowledge, collaborate, and challenge the status quo.

Why Łódź?

Poland’s third-largest city is a story of reinvention - once an industrial powerhouse, now a creative and cultural hub. Walk its iconic Piotrkowska Street, explore Manufaktura, and see first-hand how urban sustainability is taking shape. If you’re working to make cities better - whether through policy, design, activism, or innovation - you’ll find the ideas, connections, and momentum you need here.
