    Executive Summary
Smart city development has become a major
topic for economic and social development
nationwide and globally, with cities striving to
integrate technology and urban development to
improve the quality of life of their citizens.
At the 32nd ASEAN Summit in April 2018, the
ASEAN Leaders established the ASEAN Smart
Cities Network (ASCN) as a collaborative platform
where cities from the ten ASEAN Member
States (AMS) work towards the common goal
of smart and sustainable urban development,
using technology as an enabler. The Inaugural
Meeting of the ASCN was held on 8 July 2018
in Singapore and it was planned for ASCN
members to meet annually to discuss progress
on each city’s action plan, to launch new projects
with private sector solution providers, and to
explore new opportunities with ASEAN’s
external partners.

Continuing on to 2019, as ASEAN Chair and
ASCN Chair, Thailand has the honor to continue
the development of ASEAN Smart Cities Network
through two ASCN events; namely ASCN
Roundtable Meeting and Conference on Smart
and Sustainable Cities (June), and ASCN Annual
Meeting and ASCN Conference & Exhibition
(August) which were attended by delegates
from the AMS, including the National
Representatives (NRs), Chief Smart City Officers
(CSCOs), the ASEAN Secretariat, as well as various
government and private-sector agencies from
ASCN’s external partners which include China,
Japan, Korea, and USA.

On 23 August 2019, Thailand hosted the ASEAN Smart Cities Network
(ASCN) Annual Meeting in Bangkok, bringing together the National
Representatives and Chief Smart City Officers from the 26 ASCN cities
in ten ASEAN Member States, as well as the ASEAN Secretariat. The
Meeting deepened cooperation to promote the development of smart
and sustainable cities in ASEAN, as part of the process of building
a people-oriented and people-centred ASEAN Community that leaves
no one behind and looks to the future. The Meeting adopted the ASCN
Terms of Reference to be submitted for notation by the ASEAN Leaders
at the 35th ASEAN Summit in November this year. The Meeting also
discussed the development of a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
framework and modalities for engagement with external partners.
Progress in the development of the ASCN will be reported to the 35th
ASEAN Summit to be convened in Bangkok at the end of the year.

                                                partners, recognizing the mutual benefits
                                                that can be gained from the sharing of best

                                                sustainable cities as drivers of sustained
                                                growth and sustainable development. In this
                                                connection, G20 countries were invited to

Area: 243 km2
Population: 1.8 million(projected 2018)
Population density: 7,377 / km2

Current status of the city
Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is located in a valley surounded by hilly
terrain in the southwestern part of Malay Peninsula. The population is large, and
it has the highest population density in country. Despite the relocation of the
federal government administration to Putrajaya, the city still remains the center
of Malaysia’s economy. Having developed transportation infrastructure,
including expressways, railways and a monorail, as well as large-scale shopping
malls, it is one of the leading cities in Southeast Asia, where many high-rise
buildings cluster amidst the rich greenery.
