Organised by

Summary
Urban growth of the past few decades has largely resulted in crowded slums and sprawling settlements in the urban fringe. Orderly expansion and densification of existing and planned neighbourhoods are needed to provide cities with a spatial structure that can support socioeconomic and environmental sustainability. Effective municipal financing is vital to implement planned expansions and densification to enable sustainable growth and development of cities.
