Join us for a half-day deep dive into the Northern Metropolis, where we will bring you the latest insights from the people directly involved in this development. We will discuss the Northern Metropolis from three angles: Carbon, Community and Complementarity - with a special look at integration with Shenzhen and the GBA.
