Remodelling brownfield sites and integrating sustainability into urban development strategies will be two of the key issues discussed by city administrators and real estate executives during MIPIM 2010, according to the organisers of the international property fair.

Among the cities attending the world's leading property market is Stockholm, which the European Commission has chosen as European Green Capital 2010. 'MIPIM is an excellent platform to discuss sustainable solutions for the future with other mayors and to share the Stockholm experience on how to integrate the green perspective in policy making,' Sten Nordin, the mayor of Stockholm and the first European Green Capital, said.

On 17 March, Nordin will deliver a keynote speech to delegates at MIPIM who include representatives from some 400 local authorities and over 100 political representatives including mayors, ministers, senators.

'At MIPIM, municipalities and local authorities come to meet real estate professionals to share their ideas about developing their territories. During the event, they also have the opportunity to exchange ideas with other cities faced with similar challenges. This is why we are organizing the second Mayors' Think Tank, a closed-door event for mayors and high-ranking local authority officials, which will address the theme of Infrastructure: key to sustainable growth,' added MIPIM director Nadine Castagna.
