Event Description:
Urbanization is a dynamic process that offers both opportunities and challenges for Southeast Asian cities. As the region continues to urbanize rapidly, new approaches are required to transform urban spaces in ways that are inclusive, equitable, and sustainable. This webinar will focus on the ways in which the transformative potentials of urbanization can be harnessed to address complex issues such as uneven access to resources, inequitable development, and environmental degradation—all of which are further exacerbated by the realities of climate change.
The panelists will share their expertise on urban planning, community engagement, and sustainable development from diverse Southeast Asian contexts, offering critical insights into the evolving landscape of Southeast Asian urbanization. Participants will gain an understanding of innovative strategies to promote resilient, inclusive cities that can meet the needs of diverse communities.
This session is part of the LuceSEA series, supported by the Luce Foundation, which aims to enhance understanding of Southeast Asia through research, outreach, and collaboration.
