Summary of Proceedings: Expert Group Meeting on Managing Urban Growth in Asia 28-29 July 2005

The review coordinated by Regional and Sustainable Development Department (RSDD) began in April 2005. It involved intensive discussions among staff particularly those from the Urban Sector Committee who acknowledges the need for a revamped Urban Strategy that is more effective and relevant to ADB operations. As part of the review, an Expert Group Meeting on “Managing Urban Growth in Asia” was held on 28-29 July at the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Manila

The two day Expert Group Meeting brought together over 30 urban practitioners from national agencies, academic and research institutions, private consulting firms, external support agencies, local governments and Asian Development Bank. The experts contributed their knowledge and provided directions to address the many urban challenges in the Region. On day one, experts presented country papers on the People’s Republic of China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. On day two, resource persons presented papers on the three themes of (i) improving governance and capacity building for cities, (ii) financing urban development, and (iii) urban sustainability.
