In this episode:
Ugo Valenti, Managing Director of Smart City Expo World Congress, joins Mustafa Sherif on Urbanistica Podcast to explore the future of smart cities, urban innovation, and the role of AI in creating better places for people.
We discuss how smart cities are evolving, the importance of leadership and governance, and how cities can move beyond technology and inspiring ideas to implement real solutions. From AI and mobility to climate change, housing, and social inclusion, the conversation focuses on what truly makes cities better places to live.
This episode is part of our collaboration with Smart City Expo World Congress (Barcelona, November 3–5, 2026), the world's biggest and most influential event for cities and urban innovation. This year's edition is expected to bring together 27,000+ professionals from 138 countries, 1,100+ exhibitors, 600 speakers, and representatives from 900+ cities to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and shape the future of urban life.
Because smart cities aren't just about technology. They're about people.
