N2 - The Dubai World Expo 2020 was a spectacular six-month mega-event, offering a multitude of continuous activities, events, forums, and various cultural experiences. Unrevealing the lessons learned from this extraordinary event requires comprehensive and in-depth studies. This research delves into the impact of the Dubai World Expo 2020 on the perceptions of young people regarding sustainable development and the challenges involved in its achievement. The primary objective is to identify the consequences of such development on cities, focusing on aspects like career paths, networks, attractiveness, identity, and innovation, from the perspective of future leaders. To achieve this, a qualitative case study approach is employed, utilizing interviews and observations as investigative tools. Additionally, the literature review encompasses an exploration of previous mega-events and secondary sources that provide insights into youth visits to such events. Through this review, the intertwined relationship between space and people in future development is established. The outcomes of this pilot study contribute to a better understanding of youth engagement in sustainable planning as a participatory approach shaped by recent developments. Furthermore, the study aligns with the UAE’s vision of involving youth in national development, embracing the SDG’s 2030 agenda through various initiatives such as peace institutions, economic development, innovation, engagement, environmental preservation, and social empowerment.
