Cities don’t face today’s challenges alone. Our accelerators bring together selected civic leaders and experts from across the World Cities Culture Forum to develop solutions to shared city challenges – from protecting affordable creative space to building thriving night-time economies.

Each Accelerator convenes cities around a single topic, creating space for policymakers to test ideas and develop practical, transferable solutions. Accelerators strengthen our collective research and shape advocacy on the issues that matter most to our cities.
