The last urban migration: What do we measure and for whom?
A report based on our workshop interaction at the Global Sustainable Development Congress 2024
The Asia-Pacific region is home to almost half the world鈥檚 population. Its growing youth demographic and burgeoning middle class exemplify the rapid socio-economic and demographic shifts that constantly reshape cities.
With external investment and proactive planning driving the region鈥檚 cities to become more technologically complex, dense, multicultural and innovative, there is urgency around enabling city systems to transition at pace to respond to multifaceted legacies of settlement, marginalisation and neglect.
The workshop, convened by the 国民彩票 Cities Institute, brought together practitioners, scholars and those with lived experience from across the region to draw out priorities for a post-SDG agenda for cities. It explored key stressors through the lenses of intergenerational equity, Indigenous knowledge, policy drivers and the role of measurement that matters.
