Cities under the network will collaborate in research projects and joint publications.
National Development Minister Desmond Lee said the City Network for the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize will foster partnerships across cities.
The biennial award recognises outstanding contributions towards the creation of vibrant, liveable and sustainable urban communities. CLC and URA also invited 20 cities that received special mentions under the award to join the network. Mr Tom Wright, president of the Regional Plan Association in New York City – which won the prize in 2012 – said he hopes to address the tight housing supply in the city as housing production had “dropped dramatically” during the economic recession from 2007 to 2009, and has yet to recover.
Mr Johannes Lutter, head of Urban Development and Mobility at Urban Innovation Vienna, said that vulnerable groups such as women and the elderly have to be taken care of amid the climate and social crises.
