WangAnQi\/Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Imagine losing hundreds of hours of your life stuck in horrendous traffic as you commute to and from work. Imagine living in a small apartment in a highly congested neighbourhood, with the aggravating noise of the city \u2013 from planes flying overhead to drivers honking and revving their engines to workers in construction sites drilling \u2013 all but lulling you to sleep. Imagine witnessing your hometown and other cities across the world submerged underwater. Imagine living in a country with unpredictable weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>And if that doesn\u2019t pull at your heartstrings, imagine your children wearing masks for most of their lives,\u00a0 not just because of a highly infectious disease but also because of the permanent toxic air. Imagine not\u00a0giving your children and the future generations the quality of life that they truly deserve.<\/p>\n<p>You must admit that some or most of these situations already sound uncomfortably familiar, which is why we must accept the fact that we are already living in very concerning times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Need<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>for<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>change<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For most individuals, moving to cities mean access to improved social services, higher quality education, better career opportunities, and even basic amenities that are unavailable in their hometowns.<\/p>\n<p>And with this mindset, in Vietnam alone, around 200,000 people move to Ho Chi Minh City from towns\u00a0and villages each year. As of the latest tally from Macrotrends, the largest city in the country is home to 8.8 million people, boasting a 2.74 percent increase from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Vietnam is just one of the many mega cities in Asia that are continuously growing in population.<\/p>\n<p>Data published by the United Nations reveal that 25 percent of the population of the top six countries\u00a0in Southeast Asia will be relocating to megacities between 2015 and 2025, amounting to an estimated\u00a0 350 million people residing in cities by 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In December 2019, we posed this question:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiarealestatesummit.com\/is-asia-prepared-for-the-challenges-that-come-with-rapid-urbanisation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Is Asia prepared for the challenges that come with rapid\u00a0urbanisation?<\/a><\/em>\u00a0 Over a year later, here we are still confounded as to how we can completely overcome said challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it. Parts of Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand are still blanketed by toxic air caused by manmade fires. Penang, Jakarta,\u00a0Bangkok, and Manila are still submerged under flood waters every\u00a0few months. Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, Hanoi, and Kuala Lumpur\u00a0are still among the most congested cities in Asia.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25902\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25902\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25902\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img225.jpg 1775w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img225-400x217.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img225-600x326.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img225-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img225-1536x835.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25902\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hari speaking envisions the Homes of the Future at the PropertyGuru Asia Real Estate Summit 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Lessons for megacities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need an intervention \u2013 an intervention on how we plan our\u00a0cities and our communities,\u201d said Hari Krishnan, CEO and Managing Director of PropertyGuru Group, as he shared his vision for the \u201dhomes of the future\u201d at the first virtual edition of the annual PropertyGuru Asia Real Estate Summit in December 2020.<\/p>\n<p>To minimise the impact of rapid urbanisation, he shared innovative solutions established by our developed neighbours, to whom we can take as a precaution and as an inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>In Los Angeles, California, for instance, Mayor Eric Garcetti has been monitoring impoverished communities with less developed urban infrastructure across the city. His findings proved that there is a causal relationship between the lack of bus shelters in the area and the inability of the children living in such a poor state to finish their homework.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStretch this out over time and you\u2019re able to see that there are poorer life outcomes for these children growing up in poorer communities,\u201d he shared. \u201cThis is a lesson that our Asian megacities can ill afford to ignore with our large populations of poorer\u00a0 people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Tel Aviv, Israel, a joint effort by the government and private corporations have led to the construction of electric\u00a0roads that will charge and power the city\u2019s public transportation, with plans to expand to other areas of the city. With the use of electric vehicles, the\u00a0country is set to reduce its carbon footprint drastically for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Helsinki, Finland has also found a way to deal with their congestion problems by implementing the Whim MaaS (Mobility as a Service) app that gives citizens access to e-scooters, bicycles, self-driven cars, buses, taxis, and ferries by signing up to the\u00a0single subscription service. This app has proven to be quite\u00a0 a success, having expanded to Antwerp (Belgium), Birmingham (England), Tokyo (Japan), and even Singapore.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taking<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>a<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>stand<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since we now live in an era where information is easily accessible because of technology, most of us are painfully aware of the\u00a0climate crisis and the dire impact of urbanisation. Though easy access to information may have its obvious pitfalls such as the\u00a0spread of fake news and cyber scams, the citizens of Hanoi and \u00a0Jakarta have used their awareness for good.<\/p>\n<p>Hanoi citizens organised a seminar where they all gathered and shared the best solutions from across the world and specifically\u00a0from the Asia Pacific region. The people of Jakarta, on the other\u00a0hand, sued the government for the poor quality of breathable air.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hope<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>for the\u00a0<\/strong><strong>future<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the semi-annual consumer sentiment survey conducted by PropertyGuru in Singapore, respondents foresee living in a\u00a0sustainable home, even if it would cost them more than a regular abode. They even shared their eagerness to have a more efficient cooling system and to use solar panels to power their homes.<\/p>\n<p>Across Southeast Asia, Hari shared that most people have decided to live in self-contained townships, which are designed to\u00a0uphold communal living by providing an abundance of lifestyle amenities and infrastructure within the vicinity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese townships are built by private developers, and this partnership between the private developers and the public infrastructure gives us a great opportunity to improve the homes of the\u00a0future,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25906\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img243.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img243.jpg 2482w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img243-400x274.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img243-600x411.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img243-768x526.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img243-1536x1053.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img243-2048x1404.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Making\u00a0a\u00a0change<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most developers now realise their crucial role in helping combat the climate crisis by producing sustainable developments. We are now seeing allotment gardens in\u00a0construction projects that will allow future residents to grow their own vegetables,\u00a0herbs, and fruits, promoting self-sustainability through food supply.<\/p>\n<p>The use of technology in real estate has also advanced, with digital apps now enabling residents to control their water and energy supplies, and to send notifications about appliances that are working inefficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Property developers have even embraced prefabricated skyscrapers, which will\u00a0help ease noise and air pollution during the construction stage \u2013\u00a0and among the countries is Singapore, home to the world\u2019s tallest at 200 metres high once completed in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>But the citizens and private developers can\u2019t do it alone. The government will also\u00a0have to introduce more policies in place to reduce the impact of rapid urbanisation. Since more developments are planning to provide electric vehicle chargers,\u00a0Hari suggested introducing subsidies to encourage citizens to switch to electric\u00a0vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cYou hear about green loans for developers so that they can build in a more sustainable manner, how about green loans for property seekers who are actually willing to invest in these sustainably-built homes?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for modular construction and buildings, he expressed the need for a policy change so we will see more of these prefabricated buildings that help improve the quality of air and noise in our cities. And those are just some of the solutions that can encourage the construction of green buildings.<\/p>\n<p>We are already feeling the impact of urbanisation and climate change as we speak. \u00a0Fortunately, it is not yet too late to do something. We have the power, technology, resources, and even awareness to make a change \u2013 even as individuals. All that is left is to act for our future and for our children\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Hari leaves us with this food for thought: \u201cMany of us will live to see the cities of tomorrow, but all of our children will. We owe it to them to build the cities of tomorrow and not just replicate the cities of yesterday. Providing sustainable urban living solutions might well be the defining call to action of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The original version of this article appeared in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiarealestatesummit.com\/living-sustainably-and-responsibly-for-our-future-and-our-childrens-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asiarealestatesummit.com\/<\/a>.
