Flexible work schedules, vaccine rollouts, easing of restrictions, and international travel, the world appears to be overcoming the disruptions of the pandemic. With so much potential to pave a new path, there’s lots to be considered for a better future and world ahead. Alongside the Cityscape exhibition, the Cityscape Intelligence Live Sessions will take place over three days on 9th - 11th November 2021 at the Dubai’s Expo site.
The Cityscape Intelligence Talk sessions will host numerous experts who will discuss the future trends and issues facing the local and global real estate market within an interactive space that encourages delegate participation. The Talks will also debut Cityscape’s newest platform, the Design Quarter, which will host a series of architecture and built environment focus sessions.
