Watch back this roundtable discussion to hear from London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney and the built environment community as they explored the role of demonstrator districts in the future of our cities. 

The combinations of metropolitan population growth, economic change, and climate transition place new demands on districts across our cities. The recent acceleration of new modes of work, services, education, consumption, logistics, travel, and leisure are rapidly remaking our cities and creating a new imperative for agility and re-engineering of places. We can use these imperatives to drive new quality and resilience into our urban districts to make them more adaptable going forwards. 

 

This allows for opportunities to create a new generation of districts that can combine multiple roles in new mixes to achieve dynamic and resilient places that meet multiple aims.    

 

In our 4th Cities roundtable, we turn to Asia Pacific cities and partners to discover what makes a demonstrator district for the future of our cities. By demonstrator district we mean places that showcase the future of urbanism with a focus on sustainability, inclusivity, health, experience, identity, and agility. These are the districts that set new standards in city making and inspire a generation of other districts to follow suit.    

  

Where are they and what makes them work?
