I've heard a lot of people talking about Cityscape Global after the event. But how was it exactly?

Cityscape Global is not just an ordinary exhibition. It is a trade show for the real estate industry in Dubai. Being the world's largest networking exhibition in property development, international investors, developers, cities and regional authorities, service providers such as architects and designers and people involved in the design and construction of both public and private real estate developments are mainly the attendees.



The event took place at Dubai World Trade Centre. With approximately 35,000 visitors and over 280 exhibitors from 28 countries, this year's edition has been the biggest in five years.


Cityscape Global Conferences covers Global Real Estate Summit, Real Estate Brokers Summit and Future Cities Conference.


The Global Real Estate Summit showcases the leading personalities, companies and strategies that are shaping real estate investment, development and financing across the globe. It is the most established real estate investment and development conference in the region. To know more, here is the agenda for this year's edition.

Real Estate Brokers Summit opens a dialogue to keep all those involved in buying and selling of real estate informed of ethical and successful practice of real estate brokerage and so as the latest procedures and regulations that are impacting the industry. The brochure will provide you more details about the summit.

Future Cities Conference is a conference on sustainable urban development in association with Dubai Municipality and the Environment Centre for Arab Towns. Future Cities inspires holistic action in pursuit of a more functional and sustainable world. For more information, you can download the brochure here.

Meanwhile, I have taken couple of photos from the event. Sadly, they are poor quality as I've taken them using my phone.
