Join us in Mumbai from 10-12 December, 2025 for the CTBUH Asia Regional Conference, “Vertical Urbanism Density, Carbon and People.” As cities continue to grow, the need for a holistic approach to density, sustainability, and human-centric design has never been more pressing. Delivered in partnership with the CTBUH India Chapter, this conference will bring together leading architects, engineers, urban planners, policymakers, and industry experts to explore the evolving paradigms of vertical urbanism. Through insightful discussions, cutting-edge case studies, and interactive sessions, we will delve into the challenges and opportunities of high-density development, its impact on carbon emissions, and the role of people-centric design in shaping the future of urban living.

With Mumbai—one of the world’s most dynamic high-rise cities—as our backdrop, this event will provide a unique platform to exchange ideas and strategies that drive sustainable and livable vertical urban growth. Keynote speakers, panel discussions, and networking sessions will address critical topics such as net-zero skyscrapers, transit-oriented developments, technological innovations, and policy frameworks essential for shaping tomorrow’s cities. Whether you are a seasoned executive, a rising professional, or an academic researcher, this conference promises to offer valuable insights, foster meaningful collaborations, and contribute to the global discourse on sustainable urban development. Be part of this transformative dialogue—where density meets sustainability and people remain at the heart of vertical urbanism.
