U.S.-ASEAN Smart Cities Partnership
An initial investment of $10 million was announced to launch the U.S.-ASEAN Smart Cities Partnership (USASCP), a strategic move in lending the private and public sector knowledge of the United States toward implementation of smart technologies in cities belonging to the ASEAN Smart Cities Network (ASCN). The USASCP is committed to improving the daily lives of SE Asian citizens.
For smart technology to genuinely improve the lives of the citizens that interact with it, planning must be people-centric and focus must center on the equitable concepts of Safety, Honesty, Inclusion, and Planning (SHIP).
