Seminar Overview Background More than half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas. By 2015, 12 of the 22 megacities projected to develop worldwide will be in Asia, and by 2030 Asia will account for more than half of the world’s urban population. This massive demographic shift has been pivotal to expanded economic development and increased wealth in the region, but it has also produced new challenges in virtually every aspect of human organization. It demands a new look at urban planning strategies, infrastructure, lifestyles, welfare needs, employment, housing, transportation, health care, food, shelter, water, and basic social interactions. At the same time, this surge in urbanization is changing the social fabric of countries, forcing a rethinking of the relationship between national and local governments and creating new power centers outside of the traditional political hierarchy. In addition, the rapid growth of megacities and midsize cities has strained existing urban administrative systems, which are struggling to respond to unprecedented political, economic, social, and physical changes. Government, civil society, and corporations must learn to adapt and innovate—while simultaneously preparing for future growth. These issues are being examined through seminars organized under the East-West Center’s Asia-Pacific-U.S. Urban Dialogue program and expert roundtables sponsored by the Penn Institute for Urban Research. Using a knowledge-based approach that integrates experience and data, these interdisciplinary, multi-country dialogue programs promote active city-to-city learning exchanges and offer key decision makers and urbanization specialists the opportunity—in a relaxed and informal setting—to talk freely about the critical urban transformation challenges they face and to explore the possible solutions. Changing Cities -─ Linking Global Knowledge to Local Action The East-West Center (EWC) and the Penn Institute for Urban Research (Penn IUR) are co-convening a three-day dialogue seminar, CHANGING CITIES ─ Linking Global Knowledge to Local Action, at the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii from 26 – 28 September 2011. The purpose of the seminar is to examine and exchange views on knowledge dissemination as a critical tool for managing urban development, especially in the cities and mega regions of Asia. The EWC and Penn IUR have invited a small but diverse group of current and former city mayors; national, state and local policymakers; key civil society and business leaders, and urban planning practitioners, experts and scholars from across Asia, the US and elsewhere to come together to share their experiences and perspectives on knowledge dissemination and to address the following core proposition:

That the creation of more resilient and inclusive urban environments over the next century will require the widespread dissemination and adaptation of good practice, innovative policy options, and a growing stock of knowledge that have already appeared or are near emergence.

1

Over the course of the three days, the seminar participants will discuss the challenges of identifying and overcoming the barriers that often slow or block efforts to share promising and even proven solutions. They will also explore ways to accelerate the movement of critical knowledge across boundaries and thresholds and to increase opportunities for cities and their stakeholders, through improved governance mechanisms, to use this knowledge effectively. Core Questions To prepare for the seminar, invitees have been requested to respond briefly to the three questions posed below. This exercise is designed to provide each participant the opportunity to reflect on the seminar’s overarching theme from his/her own, unique professional background and perspective. The compiled responses will be shared with all participants during the seminar.

1. What are the most critical barriers to the identification, dissemination, and implementation of promising practices in your field?

2. What opportunities have you been able to identify that hold promise to overcoming these

barriers to knowledge transfer? 3. What is the most important innovation that has been implemented in your city or area of

expertise in the past five years? Do you see this as an example of the successful dissemination of “global knowledge” or the product of “local” creativity?

Areas of Urban Policy and Practice The seminar’s dialogue sessions will revolve around five key areas of urban policy and practice. Participants will be encouraged to explore the common critical concerns that surround the areas and identify pathways, organizations and priorities that can lead to the transfer of specialized knowledge to drive resilient and inclusive urban development.

The five areas of urban policy and practice are: 1. Urban Planning and Competing Land Uses 2. Infrastructure Innovations in Energy and Transportation 3. Promising Practices of Inclusive Economic Growth 4. The Urban Water Cycle and Public Health 5. Governance and Management: Sharing, Adapting and Implementing Global Knowledge

and Emerging Best Practices

These urban policy and practice areas contain common characteristics that offer opportunities for the improvement of knowledge transfer activities in response to sustainable urban development efforts. They include:

Wide recognition of critical public policy concern and practitioner challenges; Identification of successful solutions that have already appeared or are near emergence; Recognizable, but surmountable barriers that currently block or impede wider dissemination of good practice and policies; and Association with present or prospective agents of change whose energies can be harnessed to achieve breakthroughs.

2

Commissioned Papers Commissioned, pre-circulated papers in each of the five urban policy and practice areas will frame individual dialogue sessions. The authors have been asked to define scholarly, policy and/or practitioner work that has achieved promising breakthroughs; discuss barriers that prevent wider dissemination of specialized knowledge; propose a set of activities designed to move knowledge forward; and identify one or more principal drivers and agents of change (persons, organizations, institutions) in a position to champion knowledge transfer and application. The commissioned seminar papers are: Periurbanization and Planning: Identifying, Mapping, and Managing Periurban Communities in Viet Nam

Global Urban Fellowship Program This new initiative is being designed to foster the development, deployment and sharing of critical urban management strategies, skills, knowledge, policy tools and experiences in cities and local communities around the world. The program will strive to create a globally relevant basket of tools and urban management skills that can be shared with a broad range of urban and city institutions and policy platforms. The key objective will be to balance the differences with a common urban calculus that can be deployed in many different jurisdictions and cultures. Persons worldwide who can provide innovative, focused and state of the art leadership and entrepreneurship skills in much needed priority areas will be selected to participate in the fellowship program. The selected cities will be carefully screened to determine appropriate policy areas as well as the motivation and willingness of mayors and other local officials to serve as mentors or colleagues of the Urban Fellows. As potential catalysts for realistic change, the Fellows will work independently or as a team to accomplish the objectives established by the program and the host community. Essentially a Fellow will serve as a Special Assistant to a Mayor or other senior local official. The City Hall Fellows Program will function as the collaborative administrative partner for this new global program. This program is the only national organization that offers a systemic solution to building strong leadership capacity in American cities. Global Urban Laboratory This initiative focuses on establishing a laboratory to serve as an advanced incubator and clearinghouse of viable urban strategies, policies and technologies. To a great extent this will be a “laboratory of laboratories” working closely with other think tanks, research centers, academic institutions and corporations active in urban systems management.

Ms. Celine d’Cruz Global Coordinator, Slum/Shack Dwellers International As coordinator of Slum/Shack Dwellers International, Ms. d’Cruz has been involved in planning and launching the United Nations Campaign for Secure Tenure in India, the Philippines, South Africa and Namibia. These international processes and events have involved interaction with a wide range of stakeholders including poor communities, city agencies, government authorities, UN bodies and bilateral groups. She has also worked with the Society for the Promotion of Area Resource Centers, the National Slum Dwellers Federation and Mahila Milan (a federation of women's slum and pavement dweller savings groups) on a large grassroots-managed program of house construction and upgrading. In 2003-04, Ms. d’Cruz was a World Fellow at Yale University, and spent six months as a visiting fellow in the offices of the International Institute for Environment and Development in London. She has written extensively about grassroots-led development, particularly in the urban sector. In 1984, she helped found the Society for the Promotion of Area Resource Centres, an NGO that works in more than 70 Indian cities and towns to build the capacity of organizations of the poor. Daily savings and collecting settlement data of slums in cities is one of the main tools used to organize these communities. Ms. d'Cruz dedicated herself to opening channels of dialogue between these organizations and the municipal and state agencies with whom they continue to negotiate for housing and other infrastructure. In 1998, Ms. d'Cruz became coordinator of Slum/Shack Dwellers International. She travels extensively within Asia and Africa and more recently Latin America, helping slum dweller organizations negotiate with state governments for land security, housing finance and basic amenities. In 2009-10 she worked with Cities Alliance, affiliated to the World Bank. She continues to build the capacity of the urban poor, especially women to find their collective voice and redefine their relationship with local and national government. Ms. d’Cruz holds a Master’s degree in Social Work from Mumbai University. Slum/Shack Dwellers International Slum/Shack Dwellers International is a loose network of urban poor organizations that is linked to a network of professionals who are committed to supporting federations of the urban poor. The organization’s main agenda is to give the urban poor a voice in negotiations for land and secure housing from their respective governments. It has a presence in countries in Asia, South Asia, Africa and South America. Eighty percent of the organization’s members are women. By undertaking activities such as savings, mapping, household surveys, and house model exhibitions, local federations are organizing urban poor communities and proving to government and the middle class in the city that they are ready to take responsibility both for themselves and the city at large. This approach has changed the tone of negotiations with government from being confrontational to a having a dialogue. For many years, the Institute focused on bringing equity issues surrounding the control or regulations of the commodities that the poor need for development (land, water, sanitation, electricity, housing finance) before the State government. More recently, however, the organization has also begun to engage multi-lateral institutions (particularly The World Bank and the UN) in bringing the voice of the urban poor to global forums in an attempt to shift policy at the transnational level. By developing complex political relationships with the various levels and

29

forms of national and international bureaucracies, the Institute—as the network representing the local federations—hopes to strengthen its member organizations locally. In addition to partnerships with State governments, the organization’s primary affiliations include Cities Alliance, Homeless International, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, Miserior, Cordaid, Swedish Sida, Sustainability Institute, and the International Institute for Environment and Development. In 2007, the Institute received $10 million from the Gates Foundation to help the urban poor in Africa, Asia and Latin America to improve their housing, water, and sanitation.

Dr. DiGregorio received a Master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Hawaii and a PhD in Urban Planning from the University of California, Los Angeles. Hanoi:PublicCity Hanoi:PublicCity grew out of the experiences of a group of individuals and organizations loosely tied together through a program for training urban planning students funded by the Ford Foundation. That project, which began in 2004 and is still active, focused on issues of civic space, public space, and livability. The project continues to be guided by Dr. Michael Douglass, Director of the Globalization Research Center at the University of Hawaii. Other collaborators include the Vietnam of Urban Planning Development Association, Lac Viet Center for Community Development, Hanoi Architecture University, Hanoi Civil Engineering College, Healthbridge and Ashui.com, an online magazine focused on architecture and urban planning.

The Honorable Syed Mustafa Kamal Former Mayor of Karachi, Pakistan The Honorable Syed Mustafa Kamal was elected the second Mayor of Karachi, the largest city in Pakistan, in October 2005 and served until March 2010. In 2010, the 17th Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan asked for the abolition of post of mayors in all cities across the country. Kamal is a member of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, Pakistan’s third-largest political party, and serves as a member of the MQM Coordinating Committee. Under Mayor Kamal’s leadership, Karachi’s basic water and sewer service were greatly improved and medical facilities were revolutionized through the building of a state-of-the-art trauma center at Abbassi Shaheed Hospital and four fully-equipped heart care centers that offer services to the poor free of charge. He also established the City Ambulance & Rescue Emergency Services (CARES) comprised of 20 ambulances, equipped with the latest technology, in the first phase. The city launched its first ever “Command and Control Center” to help ease traffic flow, maintain public safety and reduce crime. Karachi now has a compressed natural gas-fueled public transport system with 75 environmentally friendly and efficient buses. Citizens can call 1339 to file civic complaints, and Mayor Kamal’s “I Own Karachi” initiative encourages citizens to contribute their time and ideas for bettering the city. For the first time in the history of Karachi, a Master Plan for the city was prepared. Mayor Kamal also worked extensively to promote Karachi overseas and, as a result, the city did see a significant influx of foreign investment. In March 2009 Mayor Kamal traveled to the US to sign a sister city agreement between Karachi and Houston. For his work to uplift and improve Karachi’s infrastructure, the World Economic Forum included him as one of its Young Global Leaders for 2010 and he was also selected as one of the 25 finalists for the 2010 World Mayor Prize.

The city is a major hub of higher education in South Asia and the wider Muslim world. It was the original capital of Pakistan until the construction of Islamabad and is the location of the Port of Karachi and Port Bin Qasim, two of the region’s largest and busiest ports. Karachi is the most populous city in Pakistan and one of the world’s largest cities in terms of population. Current estimates range from 12 to 18 million people, of which an estimated 90% are migrants. The city’s population is estimated to be growing at about 5% per year (mainly as a result of internal rural-urban migration), including an estimated 45,000 migrant workers coming to the city every month from different parts of Pakistan. The total metropolitan area has an estimated population of over 25 million. The city is located in the south of Pakistan, along the coastline meeting the Arabian Sea. It is spread over 1,362 square miles (3,527 km2). As one of the most rapidly growing cities in the world, Karachi faces challenges that are central to many developing metropolises, including traffic congestion, pollution, poverty, and street crime. In line with its status as a major port and the country’s largest metropolis, it accounts for a large percentage of Pakistan’s revenue Karachi is the nerve center of Pakistan’s economy. The city’s high GDP is supported by its mega-industrial base, with a high dependency on the financial sector. Textiles, cement, steel, heavy machinery, chemicals, food, banking and insurance are the major segments contributing to Karachi’s GDP. Karachi has several large industrial zones such as the Karachi Export Processing Zone, SITE, Korangi, the Northern Bypass Industrial Zone, Bin Qasim and North Karachi, located on the fringes of the main city.

School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania The School of Veterinary Medicine was established in 1884 at the urging of the University's School of Medicine, which recognized that prevention and control of animal diseases had important implications for human health. Human and veterinary medicine were viewed as "one medicine." This principle encouraged close ties between the two schools, and today those ties continue with ground-breaking comparative medical research projects on diseases that occur in animals and humans. Pathobiology Department The Pathobiology Department undertakes extensive research in pathology, infectious diseases and immunology to understand the nature of disease and its impact on humans and animals. The Department excels in research into bacteria, viruses and parasites. The fields of immunology, cell biology, genomics, biochemistry, epidemiology and ecology are brought to bear in designing new ways to attack these infectious agents. Some of the major research programs in Pathobiology study salmonellosis, West Nile virus, avian influenza, plague, ebola virus, and herpes to provide new ways of treatment in both people and animals. A unique aspect of Penn’s infectious disease program is the strong nucleus of scientists dedicated to the study of parasites. These agents affect companion animals, livestock and people in devastating ways, but are often neglected diseases.
