CityNet regularly hosts workshops and capacity building activities aimed at training city leaders and promoting best practices in the Asia Pacific region. In 2015, CityNet programming is being driven by the theme of Asian Perspectives on Sustainable Urbanization. This idea will shape programming and capacity building activities by promoting best practices, case studies and methodologies that have emerged from Asia to address cities’ urban development challenges. As part of this theme, we will hold a three day workshop on Affordable Housing at the Kuala Lumpur Regional Training Center in May. At the ICLEI Congress, CityNet proposes to host an Affordable Housing Seminar which will serve as an opening to the training program. We anticipate that the seminar would be 2-3 hours in the form of a side event.
