This year the members of the Cities Alliance will gather in Tunisia, for a three-day event that will include:

- 25 October: Visits and presentations of Cities Alliance and partner projects in Tunis
- 26 October: Round table discussions with members, Tunisian stakeholders, and international partners. The round table discussions will take a deep dive into some of the key topics Cities Alliance has been working on in Tunisia:
- Women Resisting (in) the City: Struggles, gender and urban planning in the Global South. This session will explore how gender-responsive city planning can ensure that the voices, experiences, and needs, of women and girls, are considered and reflected in changes in the built environment.
- Enabling cities to be drivers of job creation and economic development. The discussion will focus on how cities' capacity can be improved and strengthened to leverage financial investments. These investments are crucial both for job creation and infrastructure development.
- Urban informality and sustainable development: integrated approaches to support inclusive growth. This session will discuss the intertwining nature of sustainable development, climate resilience, and urban informality. It will seek to highlight the need for integrated approaches to drive inclusive and effective city development.
