Wed 31 May 10:55 AM — 11:40 AM (GMT+08:00) Kuala Lumpur, Singapore The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia, Grand Ballroom, level 1

Asia Pacific will add another 4 billion city dwellers over the next 50 years. By 2100 there will be 10 billion people living in c 10,000 cities across our planet and 70% of them will be in Asia Pacific. We will need more city. With rapidly growing populations in cities, we need to know where to regenerate, where to expand, and when to create new cities. We must not chase numbers, we need cities that are low carbon, high amenity, productive, smart, and inclusive. We focus on best practice which have implemented strategies to respond to growth for housing demand and infrastructure, meeting the future needs of planet, cities, and people. What are their blueprints for urban development and low carbon liveability over the next 30 years?
