The pandemic has unearthed several fissures in regulating urban conglomerations that must be rectified to manage future shocks. Strengthening health systems and social infrastructure and creating institutional mechanisms to raise resources to be deployed at times of crisis are crucial elements to boost resilience and hasten recovery. How should cities define ‘resilience’ post-pandemic? What are the key requirements and characteristics of a resilient city? How will COVID-19 change urban planning and governance? How can urban planning processes be made more inclusive? What is the role of communities and businesses in urban planning and development? How can cities become more self-sufficient financially? What are the new instruments of financing worth exploring? This session will look at how city governance, city planning, and the allocation of resources, investments and financing must be integrated with community engagement to build back better and build back together. Ashwini Bhide, Additional Municipal Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, India Nicholas Brooke, Chairman, Urban Land Institute Asia Pacific, Hong Kong Regina Ramos, Deputy Director, Pilots and Innovation, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, United States Shruti Narayan, Regional Director, South and West Asia Regions, C40 Cities, India Moderator: Aditi Ratho, Associate Fellow, Observer Research Foundation Mumbai, India CREATIVITY, COMMUNITY & COMMERCE IN THE INDO PACIFIC 2-3 FEBRUARY 2021 MUMBAI, INDIA PANEL 2 | 1430 - 1515 Sustainable Entrepôts: Designing and Financing Coastal Cities Coastal cities have infrastructure requirements markedly different from cities situated inland. The engineering and financing required for building sustainable esplanades, ports and terminals and catalysing coastal infrastructure to safeguard coastal communities’ interests can only be provided by large scale, multi-nation, multidimensional efforts. What kind of policy framework is required for designing and financing coastal cities as sustainable entrepots? How are coastal cities shaping geopolitics and geoeconomics? How can we gauge the success of multilateral initiatives such as the Blue Dot Network and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)? How should India plan and position its coastal cities, given the evolving geopolitical and geoeconomic architecture of the Indo-Pacific? How can coastal cities spearhead initiatives for the blue economy? What kind of institutional, corporate, and engineering capacity do we need to leverage the blue economy? This session will explore the new multilateral efforts to design and finance coastal cities in the current geopolitical and geoeconomics context that posits Blue Dot Network (led by the US, Japan and Australia), Supply Chain Resilience Initiative (India, Japan and Australia) and Asia-Africa Growth Corridor (launched by India and Japan) as an alternative to China’s BRI. Claudia Warning, Director General Asia, Middle East, Latin America, Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development, Germany Rafiq Dossani, Director, RAND Center for Asia Pacific Policy, United States Shirley Rodrigues, Deputy Mayor, Environment and Energy, Greater London Authority, United Kingdom Ted Baillieu, Enterprise Professor, Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, The University of Melbourne and Former Premier, Victoria, Australia Moderator: Mitali Mukherjee, Fellow, Observer Research Foundation, India CREATIVITY, COMMUNITY & COMMERCE IN THE INDO PACIFIC 2-3 FEBRUARY 2021 MUMBAI, INDIA PANEL 3 | 1530 - 1615 Relocating Mumbai in the Politics and Economics of the Indo-Pacific As the focus of geopolitics moves from Asia-Pacific to Indo-Pacific (which includes India), Mumbai is set to emerge as a vibrant centre of innovation and geoeconomics for the region. As India’s financial, business and entertainment capital, it already makes a unique contribution to the regional flow of capital, supply-chains and talent. It also has the potential to emerge as the hub for education and tourism. What is the role of Mumbai in the emerging geopolitics and geoeconomics of the Indo-Pacific? What role can Mumbai play in shaping India’s diplomacy with the region? What policy support does Mumbai need to meet its aspirations of a global, influential city? What are the strengths and weaknesses that are likely to define Mumbai’s engagement with the Indo-Pacific? How will regional developments in the Indo-Pacific and beyond shape the business, financial, creative and entertaining qualities of Mumbai? This session will explore how Mumbai can compete with regional financial, trading and innovation centres such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, San Francisco and Shenzhen. Kurihara Toshihiko, New Delhi Representative, Japan Bank for International Cooperation, Japan Peter N. Varghese, Chancellor, University of Queensland, and Former Secretary, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australia Zhiwu Chen, Director, Asia Global Institute, Hong Kong Rajeswari Pillai Rajgopalan, Distinguished Fellow and Head of Nuclear and Space Policy Initiative, Observer Research Foundation, India Moderator: Akshay Mathur, Director, Observer Research Foundation Mumbai, and Head of ORF Geoeconomics Programme, India CREATIVITY, COMMUNITY & COMMERCE IN THE INDO PACIFIC 2-3 FEBRUARY 2021 MUMBAI, INDIA PANEL 4 | 1630 - 1715 Digital Transformation: A Community Led Data Economy The United Nations Secretary-General’s roadmap for digital cooperation places digital public goods (DPGs) front and centre to bridge the digital divide. As governments build more DPGs, it is worth ensuring that they align with the principles of the global free and open-source software (FOSS) movement, deriving maximum benefit for the community from any technology that is developed using taxpayers’ money. India pitches itself as a hub for developing DPGs, and technologies like Aadhaar and UPI, built by volunteers at India Stack, are often highlighted as functional outputs of the DPG model. But considering such technologies as DPGs is contested due to their questionable open-source status—developers are often unable to audit their source code (a key feature of true open-source technologies) and, in some cases, have faced state sanctions while attempting to do so. This session will explore what are DPGs, and what are the defining characteristics of successful DPGs? What kind of global frameworks and global institutional capacity is needed for protecting the neutrality, security and sustainability of DPGs? What is the role of governments, communities and private companies in the emerging DPGs landscape?

There is an internationalisation of this Indo-Pacific strategy with Western powers and regional powers articulating their respective positions on the security and strategic developments in the region. What are the motivations behind the bipartisan consensus on the US’ role in the Indo-Pacific? What are some divergences on the consensus between the policy sub-departments of State and Pentagon? Can external pressure from partner nations influence the US policy continuity? Nadia Schadlow, Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute and Former US Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategy, United States In conversation with Dhruva Jaishankar, Executive Director, ORF America, United States KEYNOTE | 1800 –1815 Green Energy Transitions Climate change, rising sea levels, and increasing global warming are contributing to a high carbon growth template.

    CONFERENCE REPORT DAY 1 The Health Central: India, SDGs, Vaccines & Global Expectations Oommen C Kurian Panellists S. Jaishankar, Minister for External Affairs, India K. VijayRaghavan, Principal Scientific Advisor, India In Conversation with - Mark Suzman, Chief Executive Officer, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, United States Covid-19 pandemic has affected lives and livelihoods in a fundamental way, and has perhaps changed for good, how diplomacy is conducted. “Never before has global health taken a central role in global affairs”, said Mark Suzman, Chief Executive Officer, of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Fighting Covid-19 pandemic has seen an unprecedented global collaboration between researchers, healthcare workers, business leaders and grassroots organisations; and India has been at the forefront of this effort. “Vasudhaiva Kudumbakom” has been the guiding philosophy for India’s participation in the global pandemic response, as with its earlier interventions. Even before delivering vaccines during the pandemic India has been actively offering humanitarian assistance across the globe, “whether it was an earthquake in Nepal, or a civil war in Yemen, or a cyclone in Mozambique, or a typhoon in Fiji or a mudslide in Sri Lanka”, according to S. Jaishankar, Minister for External Affairs, India. India finds itself increasingly at the center of the post-pandemic global debate on health, development and technology solutions. There are three critical components to its emerging engagement. First, India’s partnership in vaccinating the world against Covid-19, which is now temporarily disrupted by a destructive second wave. Second, India’s new role in proactively responding to health and development imperatives beyond its own people.
