In order to prevent the high-rise buildings and skyscrapers in cities like those referred to as metropolises, from causing a climate crisis while they build and develop day by day, each architect and urban planner needs to be conscious about sustainable urban development. While planning sustainable cities, it is impossible to build without considering the environmental conditions and the impact of these conditions on our future. For this reason, beyond urban planning, it is necessary to create accessible streets and public spaces for everyone, no matter how tall the buildings are. Even if we are moving away from the human scale, cities need to be planned in a way that interacts with their environment and meets the needs of all their residents. In this article, we will see the CTBUH 2025 which brings together conferences on sustainable environment and urbanization every year.

What is CTBUH 2025 International Conference?
Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) is one of the most respected event worldwide on tall buildings and sustainable urban design. CTBUH was held in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur in 2023 and in London in 2024, will be hosted in Toronto, Canada this year. This years theme is “From the Ground Up: Tall Buildings and City-Making” and dates are 6–9 October 2025.
Location of CTBUH 2025
In Toronto, all main events of CTBUH 2025 Conference will be held at The Westin Harbour Castle hotel. The venue offers a comfortable experience for participants with 70,000 square meters of flexible event space. The hotel is in a very central location and provides suitable spaces for such a prestigious conference and guests.
Before this event, at 24 June, there is a preparatory conference event will be held at Limberlost Place on the George Brown College Waterfront Campus in Toronto as well. This event will focus on sustainable urban planning and design focused on social interaction too. It is important to take note this preparatory event as a first step of CTBUH 2025 before 4 months of it.

Conference Key Topics
Regarding the theme of Tall Buildings and City-Making, this year’s key topics of the conference are about sustainable urban planning and transportation mostly. Main conferences of CTBUH 2025 will be point on integration of high-rise buildings, skyscarpers into sustainable urban life. From balancing urban density and public transportation-oriented urban development models to low-carbon building materials for construction of tall buildings, there are many conferences that are important for environmental-friendly high-rise construction. Between 6-9 October 2025, there will feature more than 150 presentations with peer-rewiewed, workshops, site visits, and social events. The event’s aim to emphasize meaningful urban development transcends physical structures at all. You can follow up the program overview of CTBUH 2025.
