Healthy, prosperous people equate to a healthy, smart economy that invests in creative human capital and increases natural capital.

How are municipal governments working with investors today to improve the quality of the urban environment and people’s well-being, create decent jobs, and make the economy smarter, healthier, and stronger? What plans for the thorough creative transformation of territories have already become a reality? How do responsible corporate partners establish successful alliances with the authorities, creative leaders, and residents when implementing investment projects to transform gloomy areas into lively, green, comfortable park-like public spaces, eco-industrial parks, and agrotechnoparks? How can cities work with investors to attract green financing and transform themselves into park cities filled with happy and healthy residents?
