FABER is an international annual event in Tirana, Albania dedicated to promoting and sharing knowledge and best practices in sustainable urban development.

In its 4th edition, FABER 2025 takes place on World Cities Day as part of Urban October, the global initiative of UN-Habitat dedicated to building sustainable cities and communities.

This year’s program unfolds across three curatorial tracks:

🔹 The Gendered City – Rethinking city spaces through gender perspectives

🔹 The Smart City Paradox – AI, inclusion, and urban life

🔹 Shaping Future Cities – Innovation, investment, and inclusion

Alongside, the EXPO “(Dis)Connected” invites you to explore how architecture, technology, and policy shape sustainable urban futures — featuring contributions from LSE Middle East Centre, Abu Dhabi University, and Polis University.

Don’t miss two days of bold talks, inspiring panels, and global dialogue on the future of our cities.

This project was supported by the Ministry of Economy, Culture and Innovation through its open call for project proposals.
