Tokyo, Japan

  • From June 14 to 18, Tokyo Development Learning Center (TDLC) organized a virtual Technical Deep Dive (TDD), Managing Metro Regions to Build Back Better. This TDD brought together representatives from large metropolitan regions in developing economies to exchange experiences and knowledge with a view towards gaining a better understanding of how planning and institutional approaches, data tools and investment prioritization can be harnessed to assist metro regions across the world to be greener and more resilient.

    This TDD provided an opportunity for World Bank client country participants  to develop a deeper understanding of good practices in metro-level planning and governance, neighborhood-based approaches to integrated development, and areas and directions for a greener and more inclusive post-COVID recovery.

  • Mega metropolitan regions are big players on the world stage, producing much of the world¡¯s wealth, attracting global talent, and commanding global economies. Yet, these densely populated urban areas are responsible for over 70% of the world¡¯s carbon emissions from energy use. Metro regions have a growing role in mitigating the impacts of climate change through the way they are planned and managed, especially in light of the COVID-19 recovery.

    On the Open Day (Day 3) of our Virtual Technical Deep Dive on ¡°Managing Metro Regions to Build Back Better¡±, we explored the theme of Post-COVID Recovery Priorities ¨C Building Back Better and Greener. Please watch the recorded sessions from the link below.
