ADIS 2026 Dates and Venue

The Countdown to ADIS 2026 Begins

Theme: The Urban Evolution —
Rethinking Cities, Redefining Lifestyles

Cities worldwide are entering a moment of profound transformation. Rapid population growth, shifting economic power, climate pressures, and accelerating digital technologies are reshaping how people live, move, and connect. Traditional, incremental models to city-building are no longer sufficient to meet the scale, complexity, and speed of today’s urban evolution

The traditional model of city-building — incremental, sector-specific, and infrastructure-led — is no longer sufficient. Today, the most competitive cities are those that evolve: rethinking how urban systems are designed, financed, delivered, and experienced, while placing human wellbeing at the centre.

It represents a fundamental shift toward adaptive, resilient, and economically dynamic cities that deliver world-class liveability while ensuring sustainability. Cities must move beyond isolated infrastructure delivery to create integrated urban environments that foster opportunity, enable mobility, support creativity, and enhance lifestyles that reflect future aspirations.

Abu Dhabi stands at the forefront of this global shift. The Emirate is not only redefining urban planning, it is already demonstrating delivery at scale. With one of the world’s most ambitious capital project and infrastructure development pipelines, Abu Dhabi is setting a global benchmark for governance, execution excellence, and measurable urban outcomes that directly improve how people live, work, and thrive.

As governments, developers, investors, and innovators gather at ADIS 2026, The Urban Evolution becomes a global call to action — to rethink how cities are imagined, reimagine how infrastructure is delivered, and redefine the lifestyles that shape society’s future.
