Cities are at the vanguard of facing and solving some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity like climate change, social cohesion and technological disruptions. More than half the world now live in cities — and this number will increase to two-thirds by 2050.

Many megacities are rising in Asia and elsewhere. However, governing cities to be liveable and sustainable is one of the most complex jobs.

Unlike in the business world where businesses schools and advanced management programmes exist, there are no training programmes for those who are or are about to become mayors and city leaders.

Singapore’s Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) aims to fill this gap with the inaugural Advanced Urban Governance Programme (AUGP).

CLC will build on its repertoire of practical knowledge in running its renowned Leaders in Urban Governance Programmes over the last decade, attended by over 2,000 global city leaders.

Leaders participating in the AUGP will have the opportunity to:

• Study case studies on both Singapore and other cities, led by practitioners

• Interact with leading thought leaders and practitioners in the urban governance sector

• Participate in in-depth study tours and intensive workshops to tackle challenging real-world city projects

The AUGP curriculum is made up of four components.

The four components will cover a range of topics (subject to modification) such as:

Case Studies of Cities Led by Practitioners	Urban Conversations with Thought Leaders	Experience Singapore: From Plans to Reality	Workshops & Showcases
