Series: Asia Leadership Program Asia Leadership Program 2017 27 to 30 June 2017 Japan Asia's leaders talked about climate resilient, sustainable, and inclusive urban development at the 2017 Asia Leadership Program. With the theme "Climate Resilient, Sustainable, and Inclusive Urban Development," this year's annual Asia Leadership Program enabled participants to incorporate insights and learnings to help lead in policy dialogues and development, maximize financing mechanisms, and apply relevant technologies and innovations in their respective cities. Participants, which included directors, municipal urban development specialists in ADB's client countries, and those involved in the planning and development of urban projects, were expected to: describe key policy challenges in achieving climate resilient, sustainable, and inclusive urban development; discuss the concept of ‘livable cities, green cities, smart cities, etc.’ through a set of indexes that are based on multi-sector/thematic measures; identify tools useful in achieving leadership competencies (strategic leadership, collaborative problem solving, collaborative implementation for resource sharing, conflict resolution and negotiation, and public relations and communications) needed for reforms; find out the latest technologies and innovations that contribute to energy efficiency, water resources management, efficient public transportation, urban housing, etc.; identify appropriate financing mechanisms and opportunities for networking; and list action items to capture what has been learned and how these can help introduce changes to their projects.
