ERA-co Takes Center Stage at WRLD CTY 2026 to Lead Defining Debate on the Future of Cities in the Age of Robotics

ERA-Co will headline WRLD CTY 2026 as a main stage partner, hosting a debate titled "Will Robotics Improve Our Cities – Or Make Them Redundant?" to address automation's impact on urban development.
As machines assume cognitive work, leaders are forced to reconsider the fundamental purpose of cities, moving beyond how they function to why they exist at all.
ERA-Co Global Director Steven Cornwell will moderate the session, featuring Brand Experience lead Hugo Lamb arguing robotics unlock "more efficient, adaptive, and ultimately more human cities," and Regional Director Alex Baum challenging whether automation erodes social foundations.
Operating at the intersection of creativity and commercial strategy, the firm provides vision and experience frameworks that guide urban development and unlock long-term social and economic value.
Attendees are invited to join the session live to explore the firm's latest thinking on urban life in the age of intelligent machines, reinforcing its role in shaping high-performing places.
