The extensive focus of the Darwin City Deal on heat mitigation, cooling and greening, and the work already underway in Darwin, provide an opportunity to make further connections with other cities and jurisdictions that have an interest in this area.

There are four thematic tracks at the summit: regulation and governance, innovation and disruption, social resilience and financing that are of interest to the Northern Territory and integral to the development and implementation of the Darwin City Deal, and the attendance of NT Government representatives will allow a broader understanding of best practice and opportunities.

The summit will also inform ongoing city revitalisation initiatives, with site visits that provide insights into arts and culture regeneration, urban greening and smart city initiatives around Singapore.

Two public servants from the Department of the Chief Minister, the Regional Network Leader and Cities Director will be part of the delegation.

The trip will take place between Saturday 7 July and Friday July 13.
