Session30

A Sustainable Future for Rural Asia & Cities

Location: Yiyong Ballroom, Level 1, Dongyu Island Hotel
Time: 09:00 - 10:15
Description:
-The other side of rapidly urbanizing and industrializing Asia is the decline and decay of rural Asia. Does the re-vitalization of rural Asia have to wait till Asia has been fully urbanized and industrialized, repeating the old story similar to the “polluting first, cleaning later” prototype of industrialized countries? Or are there alternatives that strike a better balance?

-China is implementing the Strategy of reinvigorating its rural regions.What kind of Rural China are we expected to see if the strategy is executed to the letter?

-Asian cities must adapt to climate change, the digital age, sustainable development agenda, and an open, innovative and future-oriented society. Meanwhile, they must retain the Asian (oriental) style and be different or unique. What technologies, planning and governance are required?
