The Fifth Asia-Pacific Urban Forum

As the aim of development in cities is to ultimately improve the lives of its people and as cities have an immense impact on both the built and natural environment, ESCAP and partners have chosen “Cities of Opportunity: Partnerships for an Inclusive and Sustainable Future” as the overarching theme for the Fifth Asia Pacific Urban Forum.

Participants to the Fifth Asia Pacific Urban Forum will include senior policy makers from national and local governments, representatives of non-governmental and community based organizations, academics, research and training institutes, the private sector and international organizations.

Limited sponsorship for CITYNET members is available. Please contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
