"I think in the future we need cities to collaborate much more, to help each other, to share, to be more generous so that we learn what works and adapt it," Gil Penalosa, former Toronto mayoral candidate and influential urbanist, tells Sputnik on the sidelines of the 2024 Cloud City BRICS International Innovation Forum currently taking place in Moscow. Penalosa also praises Moscow for its public spaces, the quality of sidewalks, plazas, and parks, noting that cities can learn valuable lessons from one another’s successes. He highlights the diversity of urban development within BRICS nations. While cities in countries like Russia and China have advanced infrastructure and public services, others, like Brazil and South Africa, are working to address challenges related to inequality.

BRICS Nations Have Unique Opportunity to Share Urban Solutions - ex-Toronto Mayoral Candidate
11:35 GMT 18.09.2024 (Updated: 17:46 GMT 18.09.2024) The 2024 Cloud City Forum is taking place in Moscow on September 18-19, gathering leaders, entrepreneurs, urban planners, and experts from over 30 countries. The forum focuses on discussing the future of BRICS megacities and promoting collaboration on urban development strategies.
"
I think in the future we need cities to collaborate much more, to help each other, to share, to be more generous so that we learn what works and adapt it," Gil Penalosa, former Toronto mayoral candidate and influential urbanist, tells Sputnik on the sidelines of the
2024 Cloud City BRICS International Innovation Forum currently
taking place in Moscow.
Penalosa also praises Moscow for its public spaces, the quality of sidewalks, plazas, and parks, noting that cities can
learn valuable lessons from one another’s successes.
He highlights the diversity of urban development within
BRICS nations. While cities in countries like Russia and China have advanced infrastructure and public services, others, like Brazil and South Africa, are working to
address challenges related to inequality.
"BRICS provides an opportunity for countries to learn from each other so that their cities will be more sustainable, equitable, and playful," Penalosa adds. Through cooperation, these cities can address pressing issues like population growth and sustainability.
