WORLD CITIES SUMMIT 2016
WORLD CITIES SUMMIT THEMATIC TRACKS MAYORS TAKING CHARGE This track will focus on the global debate over what constitutes good urban governance, and how it can be achieved. The two sessions will also examine urban governance structures, innovative models for urban development, and service delivery, as well as the organisation of public institutions, and how these interact with the private sector and civil society. Date: Tuesday, 12 July 2016
Time: 9.00am - 12.30pm
Session 1: Mayors Taking Charge — The Long and Short of It Cities tend to be more nimble and hence, more responsive to adapt to global changes and meet local needs as compared to national responses. City-level initiatives on climate change actions are a good example. Against that backdrop, are there more mayors taking charge and taking action? Should they? The relationship between cities and their national governments is a dynamic one that can be completely different with a change in positions of power. Yet it is a critical one that directly affects the city and its people. Chairperson: Nicholas You, Director, Global Partners and Programs, Guangzhou Institute for Urban Innovation, Citistate Speakers*: Didier Vancutsem, Secretary General, ISOCARP Luis Bettencourt, Professor, Complex Systems, Santa Fe Institute Nina Yang, COO, Ascendas-Singbridge
Session 2: Unlimited Demands, Limited Resources: Where Is The Money? Cities in developed countries face dwindling revenues as their populations age, yet they also face ageing infrastructure that needs to be renewed. In developing nations, there are simultaneous calls for infrastructure developments to grow the economic and sustainable measures to protect the environment – both require resources which emerging cities do not have. How can cities prioritise investments to maximise benefits with limited resources? Can more be done with less by leveraging the private sector and civil society? What are some non-traditional sources of municipal revenue and alternative models of urban financing and investment? Chairperson: Dr. Seek Ngee Huat, Chairman, Institute of Real Estate Studies Speakers*: Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister, Delhi, India Len Brown, Lord Mayor, Auckland, New Zealand Prof. John Macomber, Senior Lecturer, Gloria A. Dauten Real Estate Fellow, Harvard Business School
CAN WE MAKE THE CITIES WE WANT? Smart and sustainable solutions need to be employed to enhance a city’s liveability, efficiency, and productivity. This track will explore various tools that allow cities to consider, evaluate, and highlight new models of city-making. It will discuss best practices in optimising planning decisions, designing effective plans for execution, and solutions for stakeholder engagement to achieve desired urban policy outcomes. Date: Tuesday, 12 July 2016
Time: 9.00am - 12.30pm
Session 1: Cities We Want — Successful Partnerships for Sustainable Developments This session will uncover public-private sector partnerships and pragmatism for sustainable development, and address the challenges of urban growth in an integrated and inter-sectoral manner. Successful case studies will be shared on how infrastructure planning decisions can be implemented at the right time, and how to construct public projects in the most efficient manner to ensure advancement of community goals and improved quality of life. This includes critical interventions, applied technologies, key performance measures, and creative processes that are replicable and scalable. Chairperson: Ambassador Chan Heng Chee, Ambassador-at-Large and Chairperson, Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities, Singapore University of Technology and Design Speakers*: Kenneth Er, CEO, National Parks Board, Singapore Oswar Muadzin Mungkasa, Deputy Governor, Spatial Planning and Environment, Jakarta, Indonesia Prof. Wulf Daseking, Professor, University of Freiburg Ronni Kahn, CEO & Founder, Oz Harvest
Session 2: Cities For The People — Innovation for Sustainable Communities Fundamentally, cities are about people, and housing is a key element that brings people into a city. It encompasses social and economic aspects, physical elements, and cultural barriers. Providing decent, affordable housing is a growing challenge in developing and developed cities alike as demand far exceeds supply worldwide. This session will explore the opportunities and pitfalls to avoid in providing housing, and how city leaders can successfully put housing back at the centre of their urban agendas. Chairperson: Tim Williams, Chief Executive, The Committee for Sydney Speakers*: Bo Aronsson, Senior Advisor, RiverCity Gothenburg Dr. Cheong Koon Hean, CEO, Housing & Development Board, Singapore Donald Atchison, Mayor, Saskatoon, Canada *Accurate as of April 2016.

INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A SMART CITY This track will showcase technology solutions, as well as social innovations, that can tackle challenges faced by cities. It will address how governments, businesses, and research institutions can work together to create a healthy eco-system for solutions generation. The sessions will focus on how being a smart city should essentially be about enabling urban residents to live more comfortable and fulfilled lives, and how the city can develop more sustainably through the use of technology. Date: Tuesday, 12 July 2016
Time: 9.00am - 12.30pm
Session 1: Smart Cities: Leading the Way The calls for smart cities are loud and clear from governments around the world, to reap the benefits of technology such as in the delivery of public services, traffic monitoring and management, and generally improving the lives of residents. Plans are thus being made to transform their cities into smart cities in order to reap these benefits. Chairperson: Jonathan Woetzel, Director, McKinsey Global Institute Speakers*: Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Foreign Affairs & Minister-in-charge of Smart Nation Programme Office, Singapore Dr. Anil Menon, Global President, Smart+Connected Communities, CISCO Olaf Scholz, Mayor, Hamburg, Germany
Session 2: Smart Cities: An Equal Partnership Between the Public and Private Sectors Realising the vision of smart cities necessitates the involvement of all stakeholders. Even as the direction is clear, the methods to move forward, the roles of the public, private, and people sectors, as well as the resources to finance smart city transformations are not as clear cut. Governments are typically not as nimble or as innovative as the private sector, but corporations are prone to focus on financial benefits rather than social dividends. The most impactful urban innovations are often the product of close collaboration between governments, research institutes, and private enterprises, including support from the ground. This track will examine both the why's and how to's of smart city developments. Chairperson: Liew Mun Leong, Chairman, Surbana Jurong Speakers*: Morten Kabell, Mayor of Technical and Environmental Affairs, Copenhagen, Denmark Patrick L. Phillips, Global CEO, Urban Land Institute Rich Sauer, Corporate Vice President, External and Legal Affairs, Microsoft
BUILDING RESILIENT CITIES AND COMMUNITIES Different facets of resilience will be examined in this track, including the ability of cities to cope with stressors on infrastructure and the environment, as well as the resilience of the city’s economy which will impact jobs for its people. Equally important is the building up of social resilience through novel approaches and best practices to actively engage residents so that cities can better address the challenges of climate change, even as cities build up critical disaster risk management capabilities. Date: Tuesday, 12 July 2016
Time: 9.00am - 12.30pm
Session 1: Strengthening the Physical City This session will focus on the critical ingredients for building resilient cities. Fundamentally, city resilience lies in ensuring solid basic infrastructure. When disaster strikes, cities that have systems that can operate autonomously are more resilient than those that are co-dependent and thus failure of one component leads to a massive collapse. A city’s resilience also depends significantly on how integrated it is in its responsiveness. If a city is faced with a disaster such as massive flooding, how effectively can residents reach for help from emergency services? How fast can key decision makers make the call on restoring essential services to residents? Chairperson: Henk Ovink, Special Envoy for International Water Affairs, The Netherlands Speakers*: Futoshi Toba, Mayor, Rikuzentakata City, Japan Hans Heinimann, Programme Director, Future Resilient Systems, Singapore-ETH Centre Lord Mayor Martin Haese, Mayor, Adelaide, Australia
Session 2: Enhancing Social Resilience Having greater economic, technical, political, and social links create strong feedback loops that in turn induce resilience within a city. A more cohesive community is likely to bounce back from adverse situations, and is self-motivating to restore itself by drawing upon social capital for access to information and communication networks in times of difficulty, and extending help to one another. As each difficulty is overcome, the society becomes more resilient. Without wishing for difficulties and crises, how then can we foster social resilience? This panel will examine the possibilities and share case studies of strategies that have worked. Chairperson: Michael Berkowitz, President, 100 Resilient Cities and Managing Director, The Rockefeller Foundation Speakers*: Ahmed Aboutaleb, Mayor, Rotterdam, The Netherlands Soichiro Takashima, Mayor, Fukuoka, Japan Suparno Banerjee, Vice President, Future Cities Program, Hewlett Packard Enterprise

CHINA BUSINESS FORUM China’s New Normal: Balancing the Economy, Liveability, and Environmental Sustainability China’s sustained economic growth has left an indelible mark on the global economic outlook. Facing a seemingly inevitable economic slowdown, China’s 13th Five-Year plan aims at steering the world’s second largest economy towards a new stage of development – the “New Normal”. Economic reform along with sustainable and inclusive growth have been identified as two key focus areas, with the private sector poised to take on a greater role in economic growth and resource efficiency. China’s Belt and Road Initiative is also expected to stimulate regional infrastructure development. Recognising the threat that environmental degradation poses to its economic goals, China is emphasising on water and environmental sustainability to elevate the quality of life. The Chinese government has rolled out initiatives including Sponge Cities and a major revision of the Environmental Protection Law. This Business Forum will delve deeper into the challenges and opportunities of China’s New Normal, and offer insights into what these could mean for industry players, professionals and individuals keen on the Chinese market. Date: Tuesday, 12 July 2016
Time: 3.30pm - 6.00pm
SOUTHEAST ASIA BUSINESS FORUM Unveiling Southeast Asia’s Potential: Policy Changes and Business Opportunities Covering a land area of 4.46 million km, Southeast Asia hosts almost nine percent of the world’s population with a combined nominal Gross Domestic Product of more than US$2.3 trillion while containing most of the fastest developing and emerging markets today. With rapid urbanisation, water, and cities infrastructure are steadily becoming some of the key priorities of the country leaders. Coupled with environmental issues surrounding pollution and climate change, businesses and governments are scrambling to implement policy changes to support the growth of their respective cities. The Southeast Asia Business Forum is the platform for both government officials and utilities leaders to share on policy changes and upcoming projects. Date: Tuesday, 12 July 2016
Time: 3.30pm - 6.00pm
LATIN AMERICA BUSINESS FORUM Challenges and Opportunities in Latin America By 2050, Latin America is projected to grow to 750 million inhabitants, with UN-Habitat projecting that 90% will be living in cities. To cater to this, Latin American countries have been cultivating relationships globally to facilitate trade and investment opportunities, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership to lower trade barriers and tariffs between Asia-Pacific and Latin American counterparts. This forum will draw leaders of the region to share urban, water, and environmental challenges and solutions, with focus on the two largest Latin American countries: Brazil and Mexico. The Mexican government’s 2014-2018 National Infrastructure Plan will see public and private investments in infrastructure reach US$590 billion, and the Brazilian government has announced a new list of planned infrastructure concessions worth US$55 billion to be auctioned off to private sector companies. Business leaders familiar with this region will share market trends, their experiences and views on doing business in these countries. Date: Wednesday, 13 July 2016
Time: 9.00am - 11.40am
INDIA BUSINESS FORUM The Challenge of India’s Inclusive Growth — Development Aspirations and Investment Opportunities Come 2030, 40% of India’s population will be living in urban areas and contributing to 75% of the country's GDP. To meet the challenges arising from this – the pressure on basic services, infrastructure, utilities, and the environment – India needs to build new cities, retrofit existing ones, and create new jobs over the next two decades. India’s government is already making a start to balance its economic growth with sustainable development, putting three mega schemes into action – Smart Cities Mission, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), and Housing for All. These will set in motion the process of urban transformation to enable a rejuvenated framework of physical, social, economic, and institutional infrastructure development. This Business Forum will inquire India’s onset investment towards its development aspirations, and the synergic business opportunities that are made available as a result of India’s impending growth and its cities of opportunity.

THEMATIC FORUMS INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A SMART CITY (II) Date: Tuesday, 12 July 2016
Time: 3.30pm - 6.00pm
Session 3: City for Living — Innovation for Sustainable Communities Many smart urban innovations have been implemented in cities around the world, bringing about better delivery of public services, resolving old challenges, and addressing new ones. More than celebrating successful case studies, we need to explore how these innovations can be replicated. The most successful solutions are usually highly customised to address the specific challenge faced within the unique context of the city. Hence, it is critical to look beyond the hype of the success, and consider more fundamental attributes of smart urban innovations at a smaller town level, that are replicable and scalable, so that other towns and cities can shorten their learning curve to implement solutions to common challenges. This session will share case studies of urban innovations that work at a town or small city level, and examine the elements that can be acquired and adapted by other cities to address similar challenges in their own unique context. More importantly, the solutions need to be sustainable beyond the excitement of initial implementation, and a critical factor is to ensure user-friendliness for the masses to access and benefit from smart city innovations. Chairperson: Dr. Cheong Koon Hean, CEO, Housing & Development Board, Singapore Speakers*: Dr. Chris Olsen, International VP for R&D, 3M Dr. Janil Puthucheary, Minister of State, Ministry of Education & Ministry of Communications and Information, Singapore Dr. Lee Seok Hong, CTO, Hyundai Engineering & Construction
Session 4: Enhancing Mobility in Smart Cities Transportation modes have shaped cities and defined the way people live. One area that cities have exploited smart technology the most is in mobility. We explore how cities and companies have enhanced mobility using smart technology, and how it can continue to disrupt the industry. • • • • •
How can we enhance mobility and sustainability of smart cities despite its growing population? How are cities leveraging on technology to enhance the efficiency of the transport network? What are some considerations and the new approaches in mobility solutions? How can data analytics contribute towards improving urban mobility? How can we improve the commuting experience of residents in a Smart City?
CULTURE — SHOULD CITIES CARE? Beyond the traditional comforts of housing, sanitation, infrastructure, and transport, what gives cities their soul? The liveability and sustainability of cities, which impact the quality of life directly, is very much dependent on the softer aspects of what defines a city, including a sense of vibrancy and historic connection to the past. Recognising that a city’s artistic, cultural, and creative offerings contribute to placemaking, this forum will focus on the viability of integrating heritage and culture in the planning and design of cities, and how governments, businesses, not-for-profit organisations, and community groups can work together to move culture up the urban planning agenda. Date: Tuesday, 12 July 2016
Time: 3.30pm - 6.00pm
Session 1: The Case for Culture in Urban Policy Economic and population growth in cities has presented great opportunities for urban development, innovation, and enhancing material well-being. On the other hand, this rapid growth also has an impact on infrastructure demands, and the environmental, economic, and social fabric of cities. With the numerous challenges and planning considerations that are already weighing on city governments and urban planners, where does cultural development fit in? Should cities care about culture? The relationship between cultural development and urban planning will be an increasingly important one as cities recognise how culture can contribute to liveability, branding, identity, and ownership. • How do the arts, culture, and heritage contribute to the civic life of a city? • How can cities reconcile different understandings between growth and cultural value? In this regard, what can city leaders do to harness the benefits of growth and development, while not pushing out cultural development, heritage preservation, and creativity? • The impact of culture is not as easy to measure as the other more quantitative indicators of a city’s growth and success. What tools have cities developed to measure the value and impact of culture on the city and its inhabitants? Chairperson: Prof. Tan Tai Yong, Professor of South Asian History, National University of Singapore Keynote Speaker: Prof. Tommy Koh, Ambassador-at-Large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore *Accurate as of April 2016.

Session 2: Spaces for Places — Approaches for Preservation and Creative Placemaking This session looks at the various approaches that cities all over the world have taken to weave arts, culture, and heritage into the urban fabric. From street art to festivals, cultural districts to the adaptive reuse of historic buildings, the possibilities for preservation, and creative placemaking are endless, and can provide much inspiration for the city and its inhabitants. These initiatives have shaped the cultural development of cities in many ways, such as in sparking urban revitalisation, increasing cultural participation, and creating a more distinctive identity for cities. However, cities also face practical challenges, such as ensuring equitable growth and sustainability, aligning different commercial community and cultural interests, and fostering innovation. How have cities overcome these challenges, and what are some of the more successful approaches and strategies? • What soft infrastructures and capabilities need to be put in place for creative and cultural placemaking? • How can cities ensure that strategies for preservation and creative placemaking are sustainable and provide opportunities for community engagement and education? • What is the role of partnerships and collaborations between multiple stakeholders such as policymakers, private investors, foundations, not-for-profit organisations, artists, and community groups in creative and cultural placemaking? Chairperson: Prof. Tan Tai Yong, Professor of South Asian History, National University of Singapore Speakers*: Philip Green, Australian High Commissioner to Singapore Rosa Daniel, Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Community, Culture and Youth, CEO of National Heritage Board, Singapore
FINANCING A SUSTAINABLE URBAN FUTURE This forum provides a platform to discuss the opportunities and challenges urban stakeholders face in financing a sustainable urban future. The two main areas of discussion are: Date: Wednesday, 13 July 2016
Time: 9.00am - 12.30pm
Session 1: Financing the Infrastructure Gap — The Road Ahead The World Bank estimated the annual “infrastructure gap” at 30%, which means an annual shortfall of about US$1 trillion. Several factors contribute to this unmet demand, including the rapid pace of urbanisation that leads to the acceleration of infrastructure demands. Moreover, the long gestation periods of these projects compound the issue as economic, political, and institutional uncertainties present added challenges. Governments alone cannot shoulder this looming infrastructure gap. Private commercial lenders, institutional investors, and multilateral development banks all have an integral part to play in financing a sustainable urban future. Chairperson: Yumiko Noda, Partner, Head of PPP and Infrastructure (Asia Pacific), PricewaterhouseCoopers Speakers*: Bambang Susantono, Vice President, Knowledge Management and Sustainable Development, Asian Development Bank Clive Kerner, CEO, Clifford Capital Terry Fanous, Managing Director, Project & Infrastructure Finance, Moody's Investors Service
Session 2: Life-Cycle Financing for an Ageing Population In the coming decades, the demands of an ageing society are set to intensify. These demands raise concerns on healthcare and exert pressures on financial resources. This is manifested in many countries but could be exacerbated in Asian economies. Breadwinners of Asian families usually spend a large portion of their income to pay off housing debts. They accrue substantial housing equity (wealth) over the years, but have little cash to support their consumption and medical needs at retirement. These households are often vulnerable to housing market shocks. In addition, two major risks – longevity and inflation on household savings – have to be considered. In this context, understanding lifecycle financing, wealth allocation, and consumption behavior of households has significant implications for social-economic policies to meet healthcare and consumption needs of the aging cohort.
