The other cities represented include New Delhi, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Singapore.
The participants at the event exchanged their experiences in managing a major city, especially in urban planning, and infrastructure development as well as in addressing problems that have arisen from rapid urbanization.
The conference also discussed measures to maintain a sustainable tourism industry, prevent the A/H1N1 influenza from breaking out in big cities and deal with the global financial crisis, environmental protection and industrial development.
At present, many Asian cities are facing problems such as rapid urbanization, population growth, the spread of diseases, high crime rates and a drop in living standards.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the population of urban areas around the world grows by an additional 67 million people per year and the number of urban citizens is estimated to rise to around 5 billion by 2030, making up 60 percent of the world’s population.
