Denpasar City is set to host 45th CityNet Executive Committee Meeting!
In preparation for the event, CityNet Deputy Secretary General Aisa Tobing and Director of Programmes Youngmin Chang met with the Denpasar City Secretariat’s Cooperation Division to conduct technical discussions and site assessments, ensuring seamless execution.
During a recent meeting with Denpasar’s Regional Secretary, key stakeholders—including representatives from regional agencies—reviewed logistical progress and deliberated on the event’s thematic direction. This coordination seeks to align the meeting with Denpasar’s vision of becoming a creative, innovative, and globally competitive city.
With Denpasar as the host city, the gathering will also showcase local initiatives and cultural heritage, offering participants an immersive experience in Balinese traditions while fostering dialogue on urban resilience and smart city strategies.
