Cities of the Future:

Urbanisation, megacities and how we will live in the future


In ASEAN alone, there are 20 cities with over 1.5 million citizens. From 2017 to 2030, South-east Asia's urban population will grow by 100m people to 373m. In 2030, four cities - Bangkok, Manila, Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh - will have populations of over 10m people, while Kuala Lumpur will be close and Singapore is projected to have around 7m people.


What are the challenges of promoting productive, inclusive and sustainable urbanisation? How can cities be engines of development? What are the implications at the city-level for climate change, including mitigation and adaptation? How can businesses thrive in these cities?
