“ASEAN Smart Cities Network: Preparing For the Future” by Moe Thuzar

 

2018/50, 3 May 2018

At the 32nd ASEAN Summit in April 2018, Singapore introduced the ASEAN Smart Cities Network (ASCN) as one of the key deliverables. The ASCN is aimed at being prepared for the security and socio-economic implications arising from changing centres of urban populations. As this is a regional initiative to be sustained and continued region-wide beyond Singapore’s chairmanship term, the ASCN’s launch and initial activities this year will be important in entrenching the network’s continuity. The ASCN concept note highlights that the network’s primary goal is to “improve the lives of ASEAN citizens, using technology as an enabler.”
