4 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

5 The 2030 Agenda and cities Cities well positioned for the implementation of Global Development Agendas

11 The State of Asia and Pacific Cities 2019 The Future : Urban Opportunities to deliver the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

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 of global sustainability agendas, and guide the development of prosperous, resilient, and inclusive cities for all

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

14 The Future of Asia and Pacific Cities 2019 Report 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 of urban sustainability areas will be launched at, and inform the thematic areas and structure of, the 7 th Asia Pacific Urban Forum during October 2019

15 Thematic areas in the Report 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

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

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
