The FutureThe State of Asia and Pacific Cities 2019: Urban Opportunities to deliver the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 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 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 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 • 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 7th Asia‐Pacific Urban Forum during Q3 2019 – Introduction 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.
