Surprised to see an ASEAN panel discussion on Smart Cities at #ALGIM2024. Panelists are from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand. Facilitated by Grace De Leon, Christchurch City Council.

Malaysia smart cities. By 2030, at least 93 city/district councils out of 160+, will achieve smart city level 3. https://www.malaysia.gov.my/portal/content/30946

Indonesia. Smart city is not just about technology, it's actually about the people. Building capability is a key focus.

Been wondering what's the link of this session with ALGIM and NZ, turns out there's a session before lunch on Christchurch as a Smart City. Michael Healy, Christchurch City Council was the presenter.

Can't help but notice that Singapore is missing on the panel.

Panelist from Thailand, Non, shared how his last visit to NZ, 30 years ago, for a summer camp, changed his life trajectory. Got his life back to getting a PhD from Harvard.
