I attended the Mayors Forum and learned a lot from other mayors and city managers who talked about how their cities developed and challenges they faced… That’s excellent for learning and I hope we can benefit from it by applying what we have learnt for the future.
“
HIS EXCELLENCY DR. ALI YOUSIF ABDULNABI AL-SHUKRI Minister of Planning, Iraq
“
World Cities Summit is definitely very useful to network with many high-level city representatives and learn about each city’s experiences and initiatives. Such forums and conferences are very beneficial in exchanging excellent solutions to problems faced in city planning.
“
What we can learn from Singapore is its very relevant industrialization experiences… Singapore was able to upgrade and transform itself from a manufacturing industry to a knowledge industry, including biotechnology and medical services, which can be exported to the whole world.
JEREMY BENTHAM Vice President, Global Business Environment, Shell
“
Having a forum where people come together from the different sectors that is seen to be independent and integrated is a very positive contribution to actually dealing with issues… Singapore is seen as a model for integrated city development and it has become an urban powerhouse.
