The Urban Transformation in Asia: Policy Implications of Decentralization
New Urbanization Seminar Series
The East-West Center is launching a new seminar series
that will examine the current trends and implications of rapid urbanization of
cities in Asia from a broad systems-wide approach with special focus on issues of urban governance.
The seminar series
will bring together government and non-government organizations, including
elected and appointed city officials, urban planners, civil society representatives,
and urbanization experts from Asia (including Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam) and the U.S.
to discuss work already underway in the public and private sectors in preparing
cities in Asia to effectively cope with the
dramatic growth in the region.
