The port city of Ningbo, China, will host the 2026 Global Mayors Dialogue from November 2 to 5 to address international urban cooperation and sustainable development.
Approximately 200 international guests, including mayors from Ningbo’s sister cities and various diplomatic representatives, are gathering in Ningbo, China, for a four-day dialogue focused on urban governance and connectivity. The event, running from November 2 to 5, 2026, aims to establish a collaborative framework for global urban development.
The summit is organized around themes including technological shifts in urban environments and the integration of port cities. Participants are scheduled to conduct site visits to Ningbo’s robotics firms and port facilities, providing a practical look at the city’s industrial focus and infrastructure management.
