LIVEABLE AND SUSTAINABLE CITIES: COMMON CHALLENGES, SHARED SOLUTIONS
WHY ATTEND Network with decision-makers in government, industry stakeholders, and global experts Exchange insights at outcome-oriented dialogue and share best practices through case studies
Asia is the region with the highest number of megacities, and the fastest pace of urbanisation in the world, hence Singapore holds a unique convening power for the World Cities Summit. As cities increasingly take a holistic approach to achieving sustainable growth, Singapore takes the lead to support greater discourse and action by convening several global events to enable world leaders to network with an even wider group of public and private sector players and to tap synergies between urban planning, water and environmental solutions. The 4th edition of the biennial World Cities Summit will be held in conjunction with the Singapore International Water Week and CleanEnviro Summit Singapore. This is an integrated platform to deliberate the solutions for a sustainable tomorrow.

WORLD CITIES SUMMIT PLENARY SESSIONS
WCS PLENARY ONE The Next Urban Decade: Critical Challenges & Opportunities
The World Cities Summit Plenary Sessions provide strategic insights into leadership and urban governance and the latest debate on liveability and sustainability. These sessions are opportunities for delegates to engage in dialogue with senior policy makers, business leaders and industry experts.
OPENING PLENARY SHAPING OUR CITIES, WATER AND ENVIRONMENT FOR A LIVEABLE AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE By 2040, two-thirds of the global population would be living in urban areas. Whilst cities are engines of growth, for many countries, the increased concentration of industrial, transport and agricultural activities place enormous pressures on urban environments and their hinterlands. Existing infrastructure for water, sanitation and housing is strained and environmental problems are exacerbated.
The Opening Plenary is held jointly by World Cities Summit, Singapore International Water Week and CleanEnviro Summit Singapore.

Urbanisation is championed as the key engine to sustain fast and fair growth in China. Environmental and water security which bears serious implications for social and political stability in China, is expected to be one of the country’s most important challenges in the coming years.

“ Rethinking India— Managing Growth and Steering towards Sustainability”
It is projected that India’s cities will produce 70% of India’s GDP. The future of India’s growth lies in the transformation of its cities as they continue to play a significant role in India’s economy and society. While a number of national strategies and policies that inculcate the principle of sustainability have been put into place, India’s revolving industrial development, growing mobile population, and changing urban landscape raises unique challenges. This forum aims to inquire India’s onset investment towards urban sustainability, and the synergic opportunities that are made available to develop smart communities and sustainable industrial townships in India.

SINGAPORE BOTANIC GARDENS Established in 1859, the Singapore Botanic Gardens (SBG) was designed in the English Garden style, with many of its historic buildings still intact today. It is recognised internationally as a leading institution of tropical botany and horticulture, and its library and herbarium collections serve as an important reference centre. SBG is instrumental in the greening and transformation of Singapore. It provided the expertise, skills and resources needed to implement the Garden City vision and continues to contribute through its plant research, education and conservation work. It is also a tourist attraction and a much-loved civic space. Highlights of this tour include the Gardens’ majestic Heritage Trees, the iconic Bandstand, the much-loved National Orchid Garden as well as the newly opened Heritage Museum.
SUNGEI BULOH WETLAND RESERVE Singapore is a highly urbanised city state with a population of over 5 million. Despite being one of the most densely populated countries in the world, find out how the humble prawn farms of the 1970s have been transformed into a protected and thriving wetland reserve where it is home to many native mangrove flora and fauna. Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is a designated ASEAN Heritage Park and an important site in the East Asian Australasian Shorebird Site Network, where thousands of migratory shorebirds make a stop here in their journey south to escape the winter.
SKYRISE GREENERY IN SINGAPORE In this tour, delegates will visit buildings with exemplary skyrise greenery, which encompasses both rooftop and vertical greenery. Khoo Teck Puat Hospital aims to create gardens that engage the senses of sight, sound, scent and touch. The greenery would help patients in recovery, and provide respite for their families. At ITE Headquarters & ITE College Central @ Ang Mo Kio, greenery is weaved into the campus through a series of gardens seamlessly connected to the external landscape. Green walls not only complement the overall design but also offer sun-shading functions to better the micro-climate indoors. The college has one of the world’s largest vertical greenery installations in a single development.
THE SPORTS HUB The Singapore Sports Hub is a state-of-the-art, fully integrated sports, entertainment and lifestyle hub. It will provide a variety of unique experiences, including community programming, Experience Sports initiatives and public facilities for everyday use.

Visit projects which won BCA’s Green Mark Platinum Award in this tour. CleanTech Park’s Central Green Core is designed to enhance existing biodiversity with carefully selected plant species to recreate the natural habitats lost during development. When fully developed, over 65% of the estate stormwater will be channelled and cleansed, via bioswales and cleansing biotopes, for non-potable water uses within the estate. The Solaris has extensive roof gardens and vertical landscaping, skylight louvers, a natural ventilated atrium and solar shaft to enhance natural day lighting to the building. The Autodesk Asia Office, rated Platinum under the Green Mark Office Interior scheme, features zoned air-conditioning and extensive use of certified green building materials.

Finally, visit The Pinnacle@Duxton, the first award-winning public housing project, and Singapore’s first 50-storey public housing. Located near Chinatown, it is a historically significant site, where the first rental flats were built in 1964. Learn how land use was optimised through renewal and rejuvenation programmes to draw new and younger communities back to a mature estate.
SINGAPORE RIVER AND MARINA BAY Marina Bay is home to the world’s first city reservoir and iconic gardens. This tour offers insights into its transformation, starting with the Singapore River which was heavily polluted and took 10 years to clean up before further development. Today, Singapore River has become part of the Marina Reservoir. The Marina Barrage is an engineering marvel that boosts Singapore’s water supply by creating its 15th reservoir right in the heart of the city. Beyond water supply and flood control, the barrage is also a recreational destination. Gardens by the Bay spans 101 hectares and is a premier urban recreational space for all to enjoy. Among its highlights are two cooled conservatories containing exquisite floral depiction of endangered habitats, and the Supertrees. Hear the story of Marina Bay’s transformation at the Marina Bay City Gallery, and learn how Singapore applied sustainable development strategies to create a new downtown at Marina Bay.
SINGAPORE’S PUBLIC HOUSING Begin your journey into the world of public housing at the HDB Gallery. With dynamic installations and interactive exhibits, it showcases the evolution of public housing from the humble beginnings of slum dwellings to the vibrant towns today. After the Gallery, tour a mature housing estate Toa Payoh Town to see an example of HDB’s efforts in rejuvenating old towns to keep up with the changing needs of people. Thereafter, visit HDB’s Prefabrication Technology Centre (PTC) which was set up in 1995 to spearhead the implementation of prefabrication technology. Through PTC, HDB applied innovation to fast-track prefabrication processes for greater construction productivity. As PTC took on an expanding R&D scope, it later became known as the Centre of Building Research under HDB Building Research Institute to serve as an incubation hub to develop and test bed research initiatives in Energy, Urban Greenery, Living Environment, Waste & Water and Building Technology.
