Latin American urban development leadership meetings

Overview

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) convened the 2026 Mayors Meeting in Colombia, gathering leaders from Latin America and the Caribbean to address urban development and governance.

During the event in Barranquilla, Mayor Alejandro Char advocated for increased financial autonomy for local governments to manage infrastructure and social requirements. Discussions also covered digital trust and housing accessibility.

In Bogotá, the meeting coincided with a report from Asocapitales stating that 3.27 million urban workers in Colombia’s major cities are at high risk due to artificial intelligence, highlighting a need for labor reconversion programs. Other participants, such as Mayor Federico Susbielles of Bahía Blanca, emphasized regional cooperation and long-term planning.
