Asia, Earth's largest and most populous continent, which concentrates most of Metropolis members (currently 75), has faced an unprecedented speed of urbanisation during the past decades. Very rapidly, small towns have evolved into megacities, and new forms of metropolitan cities are emerging, in processes that placed national and local leaders in front of a series of new challenges in terms of needs, investments, and governance.

Based on the insights of the newly published Asian Metropolitan Report, the second edition of Metropolis regional reports which build on the data provided by our 38 metropolitan indicators launched in 2019, this session will promote an open debate regarding the current and future state of metropolitan spaces in Asia, seeking to inspire decision makers and practitioners in the Asia region to explore innovative, sustainable, and inclusive solutions to metropolisation phenomena.

The session will consist of quick rounds of questions and answers between the authors of the Asian Metropolitan Report and representatives from the Metropolis membership in the four Asian sub-regions.
