This session will provide a dynamic platform for stakeholders to share experiences, perspectives, and innovative approaches to advancing urban livability, with a particular focus on infrastructure, climate resilience, and social inclusion. Participants will engage in discussions that explore evidence-based pathways for building resilient, sustainable, and equitable urban environments, which will include drawing on the findings from the latest evaluations of ADB’s support for livable cities and climate interventions from a livability perspective. Through this session, participants will be better equipped to address real-world urban challenges, foster resilient and inclusive urban communities, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on making cities more livable in the face of climate change and other crises.
