Resilience, protagonist after Valencia floodings
Along these lines, companies and solutions on the urban resilience field and countries sharing their experiences managing natural disasters became protagonists of the 2024 edition after the flooding in Valencia (Spain) that occurred a few days before the event. The devastating rainfall highlighted the need for cities to prepare for the effects of climate change and be ready to guarantee the wellbeing of citizens.

SCEWC undertook several initiatives to support relief efforts including fundraising for the Red Cross and a program to channel solutions shared by exhibiting companies to help in the aftermath of the Valencia flooding and mitigate future flood risks.

World Smart City Awards
The Chinese city of Shenzen was awarded as “Smart City of 2024” at the World Smart City Awards that acknowledge every year the most outstanding initiatives and projects in the urban transformation industry. The awards also honored Milano Mayor, Giuseppe with the Leadership Award for his remarkable contributions to international urban innovation.
