Abstract

Selected urban planning initiatives from Asia/Pacific nations are covered in this IDC report. When it comes to urban planning for the future, it is vital to construct robust downtown districts, mixed-use zones, human-powered and multimodal transit networks, and green spaces. The United Nations predicts that approximately 70% of the world's population will live in cities by the year 2050. Cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and virtual reality are some examples of cutting-edge technologies that could be more fully integrated into urban design.

"Incorporating future technologies into urban planning will make it possible to achieve a better quality of life, better environment, more sustainable infrastructure, more aesthetically pleasing cities, and a more prosperous nation,"says Jezamin Abdul Razak, senior research manager, IDC
