Now in its fourth year, the Challenges of Government Conference has become a flagship event for the Blavatnik School. It brings together a global, multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral audience for intellectual exchange and knowledge sharing.

“Flourishing cities” explored big new ideas and showcased examples of innovative practice in government and public policy around the world. It sought new ways to tackle the impacts of rapid urbanisation across the world and address the challenges of meeting the needs and aspirations of citizens.
