What is Green Growth? an important tool for achieving sustainable development. (Rio +20)! Green Growth should contribute to eradicating poverty as well as sustained economic growth, enhancing social inclusion, improving human welfare and creating opportunities for employment and decent work for all, while maintaining the healthy functioning of the earth s ecosystems.

the entire ASEAN urban population will reside in only five Mega-Urban-Regions (MUR) 2 : the Bangkok-centered MUR (30 million); the Kuala Lumpur-Klang MUR (6 million); the Planning & Coordination Singapore Triangle (10 million); the Java MUR (100 million); and the Manila MUR (30 million). Nevertheless, despite this concentration of populations in MURs, it is the second and higher tier cities of ASEAN that are urbanizing the fastest. 1. Planning and Coordination 2.
