Dr. Kwak Young Hoon addressed the conference on Monday May 23, where he told the meeting that the urban population in Asia was 2.1bn, which accounted for 48% of the continent’s population. “It will reach 3.2bn people, that is, 62% of Asia population. 58.3m Iranians lived in cities in 2015, which accounted for 73% of Iran’s population; this will reach 82% by 2045, that is, 83% of a total population of 98.9m by then,” he said.

“Economic development should consider environment, education, energy, engineering, and ethics; times have changed and history has ushered in a new era of technology and hi-tech living commodities,” Hoon told the conference. “Sustainable development and green space should be considered in new urbanization trends.”
