【ICF2015】Panel Discussion - Urban Development x Area Management

The greatest cities on the planet continue to grow even greater. London enjoys a steady post-Olympics growth and seeks to increase the momentum for the success of its key regeneration projects. New York has revolutionized the notion of public realms in the past decade and successfully improved the quality of its parks and streets through public-private collaborations. For a city like Tokyo that wants to become the most attractive city in the world, what can we learn from the stories of these cities about building and improving a truly livable and competitive urban space? In this session, experts from London and New York are invited to discuss the latest development projects in London and the Business Improvement Districts in Manhattan to engage in a dialogue to envision the future of the most prosperous cities in the world.
