According to statistics from worldometers, South-East Asia has approximately 670m people with 50% who are living within a city. This proportion of urbanities are forecasted to grow to 56% by 2030, which means an additional 40m more people will be living in cities in the next 10 years.
Cities will become even more densely populated as a result, and such pressure will be further deepened on cities like Bangkok, Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh City, which are all sinking due to excessive resources extraction.
In this near crisis situation, how do cities become smarter, more efficient and more intelligently managed? And what can technology startups do to contribute in making cities sustainable?
To answer these questions, I speak to David Goh, former General Manager of APAC region, of Daimler Mobility, for his insights
