PodChats for FutureIoT: Smarter ways for modernising urban development
The Future of Asian & Pacific Cities Report 2023 entitled, Crisis Resilient Urban Futures, describes countries and cities across Asia and the Pacific as struggling to recover from the health and socioeconomic crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, even as the effects of climate change continue to ravage the region.
The report offers guidance for policymakers to address severe disruptions and long-standing development challenges in cities for a sustainable urban recovery in Asia and the Pacific.
The problems and challenges of governments and city developers is nothing new. But with new technologies and lessons learned from other countries, Asia may yet to reap the benefits of not being the first mover.
Jacques Beltran, VP for Cities and Public Services, Dassault Systèmes, shares his views on smarter ways for modernising urban development.
1. Give us a state of city growth in Asia.
2. Prior to sustainability becoming the buzzword, what were the top priorities of urban planners?
3. How significant is the impact of climate change on cities in Asia?
4. What mindset is needed to make cities sustainable for the long haul?
5. Beyond mindset, do we have the technologies and skilled/experienced people available/ready to make the change towards more sustainable urban development?
6. Can we go into a little bit of detail in terms of what technologies are available today for urban planners?
7. Describe the challenges urban planners face in Asia in the coming years. What can we learn from global cities when it comes to sustainable development?
