etc. This information could then be used to convene a forum of infrastructure officials from ASEAN Member State to share best practices in these areas, and then continue to track performance over time to understand the degree to which progress has been made. Initiative 3: Develop Sustainable Urbanisation Strategies in ASEAN Cities. 18. This initiative aims to scale up the sharing of smart urbanisation models across cities in ASEAN Member States. While there are many useful international case studies addressing sustainability concerns associated with urbanisation, the most useful insights for ASEAN are likely to come from within the region itself. There are many examples of smart urbanisation from across ASEAN, including George Town’s heritage-protection strategy, Medan’s efforts to reduce dependency on cars and investing in making the city more pedestrian-friendly, and Da Nang’s efforts to strengthen institutional capacity and manage corruption. Despite the efforts of institutions like Singapore’s Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC), the IMT-GT Green Cities initiative, and the ASEAN-German Technical Cooperation Programme on Cities, Environment and Transport, there are still limited networks for sharing such lessons on sustainable urbanisation models and a lack of robust data to assess performance. 19. Reflecting this concern, the ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan 2016-2025 has called for enhanced sharing and adoption of experiences, projects, and knowledge related to sustainable transport. There is the opportunity for MPAC 2025 to support this by working with existing ASEAN institutions and multilateral organisations to scale up the sharing of smart urbanisation models in transport as well as in other relevant areas. The initial step will be to take stock of the existing programmes in operation across ASEAN and in sub-regional arrangements, as well as existing data sources (e.g., the Asia Competitiveness Institute urbanisation index). An assessment framework for understanding performance on different elements of sustainable urbanisation could then be developed by building on past work in this area. Cities in ASEAN could then be engaged to participate in the network, which would include participating in the assessment, as well as forums for city leaders to share lessons learnt. As part of this initiative, a smart transport initiative, linked to public transport and non-motorised transport, will be launched across ASEAN cities. A critical role for MPAC 2025 will be to ensure effective coordination of different sector programmes in this effort. II. Digital innovation 20. Disruptive technologies (particularly mobile Internet, big data, cloud technology, the Internet of Things, the automation of knowledge work and the SMAC) could unleash some US$220 billion to US$625 billion in annual economic impact in ASEAN by 2030 (Exhibit 12). The strategic objectives and initiatives for digital innovation are outlined in Exhibit 13. 48 MASTER PLAN ON ASEAN CONNECTIVITY 2025
