Reading Time: 3 minutes

World Cities Summit is the exclusive and premier platform for government leaders and industry experts to address liveable and sustainable city challenges, share integrated urban solutions and forge high-level partnerships. 

The fourth World Cities Summit will be held alongside a constellation of premier environmental events including: the sixth Singapore International Water Week; the second CleanEnviro Summit Singapore; and the tenth Ministers’ Meeting on Infrastructure Development in the Asia Pacific Region.  The string of events will be running from 1 to 5 June 2014 at the Sands Expo & Convention Center at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.

Some 20,000 high-level delegates are expected to attend, including ministers, mayors, government and industry leaders, representatives of international organisations and academics. The involvement of key stakeholders across the spectrum of urban planning, water planning and waste management is critical, given the new and complex challenges facing cities.

 

Singapore – a Strategic Location for Global Events

 

Singapore has a unique convening power for the World Cities Summit because Asia has the most megacities and is experiencing the fastest urbanisation process in the world. Singapore is taking a leadership role in supporting greater debate and action by convening several global events to enable a wider group of public and private sector players to network and tap into the synergies between urban planning, water and environmental solutions.

Through the Summit, Singapore brings together global thought leaders and practitioners from the public and private sectors that specialise in the areas of urban governance and development, to share best practice on urban challenges. The World Cities Summit will provide access to expertise and knowledge on solutions to address urban challenges through plenary discussions and specialised breakout sessions based on topics and regions, as well as networking opportunities.

World Cities Summit highlights

 

Themed “Liveable and Sustainable Cities: Common Challenges, Shared Solutions”, the fourth World Cities Summit will see more than 100 speakers share their expertise and insights at the Summit. They include notable government and industry leaders such as the Minister for Water Resources, Chen Lei from the People’s Republic of China; the Chief Executive Officer of Suez Environnement, Mr Jean-Louis Chaussade; the Founder of Gehl Architects, Mr Jan Gehl; and the Managing Director and Group Chief Financial Officer of the World Bank, Mr Bertrand Badré.

 

Other highlights include:

i. The Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize is a biennial international award that honours outstanding achievements and contributions to the creation of liveable, vibrant and sustainable urban communities around the world. At the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize Lecture, a representative from the 2014 Prize Laureate – Suzhou City – will share insights about how it has achieved remarkable economic prosperity, social progress, and the preservation of its celebrated cultural and historic heritage despite facing rapid urbanisation. This address will then be followed by representatives from the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize Special Mention cities – Yokohama and Medellin – during which they will highlight the good governance and innovations they have adopted in order to address urban challenges. Singapore’s President, Tony Tan will be the guest of honour at the Lee Kuan Yew Prize Award Ceremony and Banquet.

ii. The World Cities Summit Mayors Forum is an invitation only global event for city mayors and leaders to discuss pressing urban issues and share best practice with one another in a peer-to-peer environment. Over 120 mayors and city leaders will spend a day discussing common challenges and share solutions.

iii. The inaugural World Cities Summit Young Leaders is an initiative that involves more than 150 young leaders from the worlds government, industry and academia who are committed to actively catalyse change in cities and help shape urban development agendas. More than 50 of these young leaders will be involved in the WCS Young Leaders Symposium.

iv. High-level Plenary Sessions will provide strategic insights from senior city and industry leaders on leadership and governance, as well as the latest debate on liveability and sustainability.

v. Thematic Tracks will enable in-depth discussions and the sharing of case studies and best practice by city leaders and practitioners on topical urban issues. The themes include: (i) Safe and Liveable Cities; (ii) Will Mayors Rule the World?; (iii) Making Plans into Reality; (iv) Building Resilient Cities; (v) Innovative Urban Solutions for Liveable and Future-Ready Cities and; (vi) Future Mobility.

Reading Time: 3 minutes

JAKARTA – MEGA BUILD INDONESIA and KERAMIKA 2014 kicked off today at Jakarta Convention Center by Mr. MS. Hidayat, Minister of Industry Republic Indonesia and Mr. Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok), Jakarta Deputy Governor.

MEGABUILD INDONESIA 2014 is positioned to be the dedicated exhibition for Architecture, Interior Design and Building industry in Indonesia and the region.

According to an industry report, the Indonesian construction industry recorded healthy growth from 2009 to 2013, expanding by an average annual rate of 7% in real terms. Industry growth is expected to remain strong over the forecast period (2014-2018), as a result of the government”s focus on infrastructure and industrial construction, and the implementation of the multiyear Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia”s Economic Development (MP3EI).

“The strong domestic demand, particularly from the growing property best online casino and construction sectors, is creating tremendous business opportunities for the local ceramic industry. The success of KERAMIKA last year affirmed the industry”s needs, not only on a local level but also on a regional and international level. By bringing together local companies on a single platform like KERAMIKA, to exchange ideas, network and establish business opportunities, we hope to build Indonesia as the premier market in ASEAN for quality ceramic products,” said Mr Elisa Sinaga, Chairman of ASAKI.

Together, MEGABUILD INDONESIA and KERAMIKA 2014 will offer a complete and comprehensive platform that spans some 25,000sqm showcasing 315 participating companies from Indonesia and 11 countries.

“We are proud to announce that the event has grown not only in size but in terms of its regional mix. 26% of the participating companies are foreign companies, including 5 national pavilions from China, Korea, Italy, Singapore and Taiwan. We are confident that with the strong support of our partners, the growing Indonesian economy, plus our commitment to deliver a quality event for the industry, MEGA BUILD INDONESIA and KERAMIKA 2014 will continue to grow. It will become a key platform for international suppliers to penetrate the Indonesian market, driving further growth for the country,” said Ms Michelle Lim, President Director of RPE.

MEGABUILD INDONESIA 2014 is held in conjunction with IAI-Jakarta Design Week 2.1 which will provide various educational programs such as workshops and talk shows aimed to educate the public about the importance of architecture in Jakarta as the identity of Indonesia”s capital city.

Leveraging Building and Construction Opportunities In Myanmar with BuildTechYangon

Reading Time: 3 minutes

SPHERE Exhibits partners Singapore Business Federation (SBF) to bring building and construction expertise to Myanmar through an off-shoot of BuildTechAsia (BTA) – BuildTechYangon (BTY). 

The Myanmar’s construction industry growth is expected to remain driven by the government”s increasing expenditure on improving Myanmar”s public infrastructure, and the rising interest of domestic and foreign real estate developers on constructing residential units to meet the population”s housing demand. In view of the growing interest for this sector, the Singapore Business Federation is partnering SPHERE Exhibits to co-organise the BuildTechYangon trade show in Yangon to help Singapore businessmen gain a foothold in this fast growing sector in Myanmar.

 

Supported by key government and industry authorities from both Singapore and Myanmar, the inaugural BTY2014 will be held from 22 to 24 May 2014 at the Myanmar Convention Centre in Yangon.

 

BTY2014 will focus on building and construction machinery and equipment; building and construction materials; building and construction specific electrical and mechanical engineering; and facilities management. Special attention will also be paid to precast, prefabrication, formworks and scaffolding to address immediate needs that will speed up affordable housing as well as commercial high-rise building construction in view of the growing economy.

 

With the involvement of the International Enterprise (IE) Singapore, BTY2014 will see a strong Singapore contingent taking up a 500 square meters country pavilion. The Myanmar Construction Entrepreneurs Association (MCEA) and the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI) have also pledged their support and will encourage the local building and construction sector and potential buyers to attend the show to advance their competencies.

 

Mr. U Tha Htay, Chairman, MCEA, said: “The building and construction industry in

Myanmar can play a part and contribute to the growth and development of the country’s economy. We can facilitate progress in infrastructure development by embracing efficient building and construction technologies and expertise. In particular, precast and prefabrication will speed up housing and commercial building construction and keep cost economical.”

 

The McKinsey Global Institute estimates that between 2010 and 2030, Myanmar will need to invest $320 billion in its infrastructure to achieve an 8 percent economic growth per annum, with the majority of infrastructure investment (60 percent) in residential and commercial real estate. Some key construction and infrastructure projects in Myanmar include a new international airport in Yangon, the upgrading of 30 of its 69 domestic airports, and the development of special economic zones – Kyaukphyu, Thilawa and Dawei.

 

Last December, MCEA advisor and former ambassador Hla Maung projected that urban dwellers will rise 35 percent by 2015. As it is, urban residents have doubled since 1980 from 8 casino million to 16 million in Myanmar.

 

Mr. U Win Aung, President, UMFCCI, added: “The Myanmar Government is actively implementing reform processes and vital plans and programmes for achieving its aim of building a modern industrial advanced developed prosperous nation in the shortest time frame possible. In order to achieve this goal the state is developing the industrial sector simultaneously along with the priority agricultural sector. Needless to say Myanmar’s infrastructure in almost all sectors is weak. Infrastructure development is gaining increasing priority to contribute toward the country’s economic growth and there are vast opportunities for Public-Private-Partnership in this sector”.

 

Mr. Ng Cheong Yew, Centre Director, Overseas Centre Yangon, IE Singapore, commented: “Myanmar presents immense opportunities for Singapore companies across various sectors, including infrastructure and urban solutions. The recent revisions to the Foreign Investment Law have also provided greater clarity and certainty for foreign investors. While Singapore companies venturing into the market need to be mindful of the fluid business environment, they should also strive to pursue mutually beneficial investments which create value for the local communities, for example through job creation and skills transfer.”

 

BTY2014 will be featuring over 120 exhibiting brands from China, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan, and expecting 3,000 trade visitors. Singapore companies looking to participate in the Singapore pavilion can apply for funding through IE Singapore’s iMAP (International Marketing Activities Programme) which supports up to 50 percent eligible core expenses.

 

To complement BTY2014, a MCEA delegation was in Singapore for a two-day visit from 5 to 6 March 2014. The delegation of 20 developers and contractors met local authorities and companies to explore business and learning opportunities. They also shared with Singapore companies insights to the building and construction sector in Myanmar in a seminar held on 6 March 2014.

Reading Time: 2 minutes

SINGAPORE –  The fifth Singapore Green Building Week (SGBW) 2013 once again brings together two world-class green building events, the International Green Building Conference (IGBC) 2013 and Build Eco Xpo (BEX) Asia 2013 in a single location. Organised by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) of Singapore in partnership with Reed Exhibitions and the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), these anchor events have attracted more than 10,000 participants from over 35 countries. Held at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre from 11 to 13 September 2013, IGBC 2013 and BEX Asia 2013 have come together to provide a one-stop, international platform for global green building experts and industry players to meet and collaborate on future green building solutions.

“Climate change is a global threat that affects every one of us regardless of where we reside, and requires a collective, collaborative effort for it to be effectively countered,” said Dr. John Keung, CEO, BCA. “With IGBC 2013, BCA is pleased to once again bring together global green building experts, built environment industry leaders, policy-makers and academics to exchange knowledge, share ideas, and explore opportunities on how we can all work as one to create a greener, more sustainable built environment for all.”

“The green movement in the region is quickly gaining traction; the rise of green awareness and consciousness, and the proliferation of accessible green technologies for the building and construction sector has given rise to a high demand for green solutions,” said Mr Paul Beh, President – Asia-Pacific, Reed Exhibitions. “Understanding the evolving landscape, BEX Asia has worked to ensure that we stay at the forefront of these changing times. This is an exciting year for BEX Asia. The strong support and complementary nature of the partner events has allowed BEX to offer not only greater breadth, but also greater depth in content,” he added.

 

BEX Asia 2013 Event Highlights

This year’s BEX Asia is held just as there is a growing level of both awareness and interest in sustainability. Visitors and participants at BEX Asia 2013 can expect to see a myriad of green solutions and also a more vigorous exchange of green ideas. Alongside the rising demand for green technologies, BEX Asia has yet again established itself as the region’s choice business event with more than 300 exhibiting companies showcasing the largest range of products and services in the industry this year.

Joining the comprehensive list of returning exhibitors, some of the new firms this year include Camfil (Singapore), Daisen (Italy), Hoffsetter (Switzerland), Pinnacle LGS (UK), PT. Duta Sarana Perkasa (Indonesia) and Stonrich (Singapore). BEX Asia 2013 also welcomes a new participating country in JETRO Japan.

A key highlight of BEX Asia 2013 is its feature area, the Green View. A new platform for industry leaders to share trailblazing green ideas, solutions and trends, it will put the spotlight on several professionals and experienced practitioners. The Green View also offers visitors the opportunity to try out back-to-basics traditional weaving techniques and structure building. These workshops, organised by Arkitrek, emphasise the values of sustainability, community engagement and resource conservation.
