Nicola Nixon and Tamara Failor from The Asia Foundation and Rebecca Calder from Kore Global introduce some ideas for making cities more inclusive in Southeast Asia.

Sumaya Saluja from the Asia Foundation shares examples of intiatives addressing exclusion in ASEAN cities from the first dialogue series on Access to Infrastructure and Services.

The Inclusive Cities Dialogues is a series of workshops with 14 AASCTF participating cities from six countries in the region that sought to discuss and identify actions to improve inclusion for marginalized and disadvantaged groups.

Inclusion is an essential part of achieving smart livable cities. Oftentimes, disadvantaged groups find it difficult to navigate cities safely and easily. Many are unable to benefit from the opportunities that cities offer. It is important that cities are able to overcome these challenges with smart and inclusive solutions.

The Inclusive Cities Dialogues is a series of workshops focused on three main challenges of inclusion in Southeast Asian cities and the ongoing efforts to address these. The first of these challenges, access to infrastructure and services, is the center of the first module of the dialogue.
