The Discussion focused on how Asia-Pacific cities can become smarter, greener, and more inclusive, while also discussed on practical solutions, such as digital technology, innovative financing, and climate-resilient planning, to support sustainable urban and industrial development. Dr. SOK further enriched the discussion by highlighting Cambodia’s Funan Techo Canal and new Techo International Airport as testament of this vision, showing how modern climate-resilient infrastructure can inspire similar transformations across the Asia-Pacific region.
