LPSA Asia Working Group – Knowledge Sharing Meeting – January 2025

Urban governance in Asia and the Pacific faces significant challenges from rapid urbanization, climate change, and disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic. To address these pressing issues, UNDP, in collaboration with partners, convened a High-Level Policy Dialogue in October 2024, which led to the policy brief “Reimagining Urban Governance in Asia and the Pacific.”

Building on this dialogue, the upcoming LPSA Knowledge Sharing meeting, organized by the Asia Expert Working Group, will explore UNDP’s perspectives on transformative urban governance. The discussion will focus on anticipatory, adaptive, and agile governance frameworks, as well as innovative practices from across the region.

The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, January 21, 2025 (3:30 PM Delhi, 5:00 PM BKK, 6:00 PM Manila). Registration for this meeting is required.
