Towards Green Cities in Asia: Managing Urban Sprawl
2015 - Connective Cities Practitioners' Workshop
Publisher:
Connective Cities
Description:
Urban sprawl constitutes one of the major challenges faced by the rapidly growing cities in Asia today. The extremely rapid increase of urban population in Asia leads to a high demand for land and subsequently for urban services. This creates a high risk of urban sprawl which causes economic challenges in terms of the efficient use of resources, contributes to social segregation and is harmful to the functioning of ecosystems. Moreover, unplanned and uncontrolled extensions of urban space most often cannot be adequately served by public infrastructure. However, various approaches to managing urban sprawl exist and good practices have been implemented in some places.
In search of innovative solutions to the varied and complex tasks of managing undesired urban expansion, practitioners and experts on urban development gathered in Surabaya, Indonesia, for the 2nd Asian Connective Cities Practitioners' Workshop that took place from 21-23 April 2015.
