The Urban Leaders Retreat Sydney 2026 brings together senior leaders from architecture, real estate, infrastructure and urban development sectors for an immersive exploration of one of the world’s most liveable and economically dynamic cities.
Across four days in Sydney, participants will engage with the people, projects and ideas shaping the city — from integrated planning and transit-oriented development to placemaking, innovation districts, public-private partnerships and urban governance.
Through expert conversations, project visits and on-the-ground learning, the Retreat explores how Sydney is creating connected neighbourhoods, vibrant public spaces and resilient urban systems while supporting economic growth and an exceptional quality of life.
A city becomes the classroom.

- Transit-Oriented Development and Sydney Metro
