Urban Operational Plan 2012–2020
Asian Development Bank | June 2013
Abstract
Asian cities are central to economic development but are perceived to be wealthy yet chaotic places. Burdened by congestion, inequality, and fragmented interventions, these urban systems remain relatively weak. However, their rapid growth and wealth provide an opportunity to usher in inclusive and environmentally sustainable economic growth. Transforming the archetypically chaotic, polluted, inequitable Asian city into a “livable city” requires a new approach to city development. The Urban Operational Plan addresses the environmental (green), equity (inclusiveness), and economic (competitiveness) issues, and sets out future direction toward efficient, sustainable, and equitable development of cities.
