DEVELOP LIVING CITIES: FROM ANALYSIS ...

“I congratulate the authors for highlighting the importance of “Living Cities.” Cities are centers of human life; where the struggle to meet daily needs takes place in a better environment they have to offer. I believe that the examples shown in “Developing Living Cities” will be informative for policy makers of the cities. Let us commit to working together for a brighter urban future.”

“An imminent challenge facing city mayors in Asia Pacific is to create liveable cities. The solution requires dedicated effort and cooperation from all the stakeholders. Programs on infrastructure, clean environment, capable human resources, anchored on good governance should be implemented to achieve the vision of competitive, bankable, sustainable cities. This book sends an important message about the making of liveable cities that we would want to leave as a legacy to future generations. Congratulations to the editors, K Seetharam and B Yuen.”

“This is an important and timely book. With half of humanity living in cities, our future will depend on how well we manage our cities. This book poses six inter-generational challenges to cities. If a city deals successfully with them, it will become a living, thriving, prosperous and delightful place to live, work and visit.”
