The outlook for Asia and Pacific cities

• Asia‐Pacific is rapidly urbanizing
• this high urban growth has been accompanied by widening social

and economic inequality and environmental degradation

• the sustainability of Asia‐Pacific’s cities will determine both the

future of the region and the prospects for shared prosperity for all

• it is a source of optimism that Asia‐Pacific is where many of the

innovations, especially in smart technologies, are being explored

SLIDE 5

Cities well positioned for the implementation

• f Global Development

What are the effective means of implementation

• f the global agendas at the local municipal level

to achieve sustainable urbanization?

SLIDE 10

SLIDE 11

The State of Asia and Pacific Cities 2019 The Future :

Urban Opportunities to deliver the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

SLIDE 12

To create a ‘possibility space’ to re‐imagine the future of built/natural environments in Asia‐Pacific cities, with the aim to further support the localization and implementation

• f global sustainability agendas, and guide

the development of prosperous, resilient, and inclusive cities for all

SLIDE 13

A moment of opportunity for Asia‐Pacific cities

• decisions made now will have long‐term impacts, and Asia‐Pacific

cities have an opportunity to set themselves on more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive trajectories

• for example, most urban infrastructure investments, especially

environmental ones, are capital intensive and long‐term

－e.g. water and sewer mains need to be replaced once in 30 years

• poor investment choices can create a lock‐in effect and increase the

challenge to establish sustainable development trajectories, especially in the energy sector

SLIDE 14

• will be a major Report on cities in the Asia‐Pacific region
• will be a policy advocacy Report for national and local

governments in the region

• will provide a conceptual framework to localize the global

agendas in Asia‐Pacific cities

• will critically assess and provide knowledge and best

practices of the means of implementation across a range

• f urban sustainability areas
• will be launched at, and inform the thematic areas and

structure of, the 7th Asia‐Pacific Urban Forum during October 2019

The Future of Asia and Pacific Cities 2019 Report

SLIDE 15

• 1. The Future of Urban Governance and Capacities for Resilience
• 2. The Future of Urban Finance
• 3. The Future of Smart Urban Data and Technologies
• 4. The Future of Urban/Territorial Planning

Selection of themes was influenced by:

• the ESCAP – UN‐Habitat Regional Partners Forum held in November 2017
• the Regional Report for Habitat III

Thematic areas in the Report

SLIDE 16

Challenges for Urban Governance and Capacities for Resilience

• Risks from climate change, natural disasters, and other shocks and

stresses in Asia‐Pacific cities

－the region hosts 6 of the 10 nations most affected by extreme weather events －60% of the region’s population work in sectors at risk from the impacts of climate change, with women most affected by natural disasters －the urban poor are most vulnerable because they live in dangerous areas, in low quality and unprotected housing, are dependent on informal or subsidence livelihoods that can be affected by shocks or stresses, and have limited savings and assets

SLIDE 17

Challenges for Urban Governance and Capacities for Resilience

• governance has not kept pace with urbanization and with new social,

economic, and technological complexities

－the level of decentralization of decision‐making varies across the region －there is limited participatory urban governance to define priorities and ensure policies reflect citizens’ needs －there is a lack of horizontal and vertical integration, with support not provided for the implementation of national regulations and plans at the subnational and local levels
