This gathering serves as ASEAN’s premier platform for urbanisation and city development, fostering knowledge exchange and actionable strategies. Participants will engage with experts, explore new ideas, and contribute to a shared vision for sustainable and inclusive urban growth. Under the theme “ASEAN Future Cities and Regions: Inclusivity and Sustainability,” the event highlights the twin priorities of inclusive growth and environmental sustainability in shaping ASEAN’s urban future. It aligns with the ASEAN Community Vision, the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community, and the ASEAN Sustainable Urbanisation Strategy, advocating for cities that meet current needs, protect the environment, and foster social equity. Organised by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (MHLG) Malaysia in collaboration with URBANICE Malaysia, and hosted by the City of Kuala Lumpur, the event is co-organised by the ASEAN Secretariat , UCLG-ASPAC and UN-Habitat. It brings together local governments, policymakers, professionals, academics, and stakeholders to share best practices and drive urban innovation.
