International Forum of Local Economic Development Planned in Tbilisi

Tbilisi Municipality is to organize the 9th International Forum of Local Economic Development (LED) on December 8-9 at Biltmore Hotel, Tbilisi, Georgia.

Sustainable development and the transformation of Tbilisi into a smart city are the key themes of the upcoming event, which has been organized since 2007 by the city municipality in collaboration with GIZ (German International Cooperation) and other international organizations.

Throughout its history, the LED has addressed the topics of public-private partnership opportunities, real estate development, city rebranding, environmental issues of city development, urban regeneration, climate change and sustainable cities.

This year, too, the Forum is expected to become a platform for an active dialogue in which local authorities, agencies, NGOs and international experts will discuss city development perspectives and talk about the best ways to make modern cities more comfortable and attractive to live and work in.
