Rapid urbanization and energy demand growth are major sources of greenhouse emissions, pollution, land degradation, and waste accumulation, which increase climate-related risks, especially in the context of widespread socioeconomic inequality. Asia’s urgent need for smart city strategies thus goes hand in hand with closing the infrastructure gap, poverty reduction, and climate change adaptation.
Co-organized by ADBI, the Asian Development Bank, City of Yokohama, and other partners, the 11th Asia Smart City Conference will spotlight smart city solutions and knowledge on decarbonization to support sustainable urban development projects.
