Dear Readers,

  Greetings from MalaysiaSAFE!
  Malaysia recently hosted a global gathering in February, where over 25,000
participants from all over the world converged to discuss and debate the New Urban                      Editor & Director
Agenda (NUA) during the ninth session of the Word Urban Forum (WUF9), held in Kuala                  Mior Mohamed Ridzuan
Lumpur. The focus on NUA comes at a critical moment. Currently, 76% of the country’s                     Bin Mior Roslan
population live in cities and there is a wide consensus that development challenges will               HP: +6012-2822312
become increasingly more concentrated in areas with rapid urbanization.                           E: ridzuan@malaysiasafe.com

   While urbanization provides opportunities to citizens and enhances the economy and
innovation of countries, rapid and unregulated urbanization poses multiple problems to
citizens’ well-being such as pollution, safety and sustainability.                                   Advertising and Sales
