Foreword

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) technical assistance (TA) project Establishing the Future Cities Program in the Asia and Pacific Region aimed to identify new approaches to address the challenges of urbanization. This 2-year TA project was an incubation mechanism reviewing the entire ecosystem of how to develop cities. How do we plan up front to reduce the carbon footprint and increase the energy efficiency in the delivery of public services? How do we engage with city mayors and their constituents so they can realize the unique vision they have for their locality? The TA project served as a testing ground for ideas on how to better interface with city officials and stakeholders to mainstream new or improved solutions into ADB operations.

This publication, Engaging with Cities of the Future: A Perspective, provides insights into this new type of engagement drawing from work in six cities in the region. The approach emphasized by the Future Cities TA project eschews traditional paradigms of working solely on one sector and instead emphasizes cross-sectoral and thematic collaboration, identifying relevant knowledge and financial resources both within and outside ADB to strengthen the relationship at the city level, support holistic growth, and ensure livability in the future.
