APEC Sustainable Urban Development Report - From Models to Results

This report presents urbanization trends in APEC economies and the important role cities play to ensure economic growth. It identifies the most evident sustainability gaps of APEC cities and the number of instruments that have already been developed to address them. Finally, it outlines elements of a cooperative strategy for scaling up APEC sustainable urbanization by targeted focus on energy technologies that synergize resilience with better economic performance, social inclusiveness, and less environmental impact.

The report suggests that the cooperation partners identified should fulfill their roles and thereby implement the strategy. It further recommends results-oriented monitoring of cities’ performance to fulfill their share of APEC's energy goals.
