In my recent interview, we explored how smart city initiatives intersect with urban sustainability. While technology plays a role, true progress hinges on comprehensive public policies. Modal shift strategies and smart mobility solutions are key components. Malaysia\u2019s journey toward genuine smart and sustainable cities requires a people-centric approach, integrating urban requirements across all Sustainable Development Goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m honored to be featured in the national #media<\/a> of #Malaysia<\/a> \ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddfe for the second time. I had a great conversation with <\/a>Soon Li Wei<\/a>, journalist at the Malaysian National News Agency (BERNAMA)<\/a>*, about how to build a #smartcity<\/a> that puts #people<\/a> first and supports urban #sustainability<\/a> \ud83c\udf3f (#SDGs<\/a>).

You can check out my #interview<\/a> \u2935 and the full article along with <\/a>Yin Wei Chong<\/a> from UNDP Accelerator Labs<\/a> \ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddfe, where we share more insights and examples on how to design and implement people-centric #smartcity<\/a> but also nature-based solutions.

European smart city consultant <\/a>St\u00e9phane P\u00e9an<\/a>, who is in #KualaLumpur<\/a> regularly, said like in many other countries, the smart city approach in #Malaysia<\/a> certainly began with a technology-pushed mindset, which seeks to foster the digital economy (via #innovation<\/a>), improve public #safety<\/a> (cameras) and support urban #sustainability<\/a> and #resilience<\/a> policies.

He told #Bernama<\/a> part of these initiatives can contribute to meeting some of the #SDGs<\/a> such as #SDG9<\/a> (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), #SDG11<\/a> (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and #SDG13<\/a> (Climate Action).

However, he added, a true #smartcity<\/a> approach should comprehensively integrate \u201curban requirements\u201d to help achieve all the 17 #SDGs<\/a> as they are all interconnected.

\u201cTherefore, the outcomes depend on public policies in place and not only the technologies that are used,\u201d he pointed out.

“For instance, in the #Klangvalley<\/a>, mass #transportation<\/a> infrastructures are now well deployed but in order to bring people on board, modal shift policies must be engaged and #smartmobility<\/a> solutions are the key.”

The former town planner believes #Malaysia<\/a> will be able to build genuine smart and sustainable cities in the near future by integrating with urban #sustainability<\/a>, which requires a more people-centric #governance<\/a>.
