Here we come, Rotterdam!
June 5-7, 2024
Rotterdam is a city where growth and sustainability go hand-in-hand.
With over 170 nationalities, the city has a diverse, unique vibe and a long history as a pioneer in urban transformations.
In Rotterdam, the local government, business industry and knowledge institutions work successfully and closely together. A great example of such collaboration is the Rotterdam Climate Agreement, signed by the city’s government and more than one hundred companies and organisations.
A sustainable future: Rotterdam – the second biggest Dutch city and the home to Europe’s largest port – is efficiently transitioning to a circular economy with smart city structure.
During the #UrbanFuture conference week, the city is eager to share its knowledge and discover new ideas from other cities. This aligns perfectly with the character of Rotterdam and the essence of Urban Future. We can’t wait to explore it together at #UF24.

A few facts we love.
