Metropolis and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) invite urban leaders to the most significant cross-temporal summit of our time, Seoul 2040. This special event offers a unique opportunity to learn from representatives of various parallel timelines and build a better future for your city.

Representatives from different future timelines will converge in Seoul to share their experiences and insights on urban development. The summit will address familiar topics essential to city life, including: social dynamics, innovation, climate, urbanism, and governance.

We will also explore wildcard topics to help participants prepare for plausible, yet unexpected, future scenarios. The goal is for city leaders to send their insights and recommendations back to the prime timeline of 2025, enabling each city to learn from these future experiences and better prepare to create inclusive futures.
