SUMMARY:Transnational urban modelling in the city making in Southeast Asia
LOCATION:Room 3.01
DESCRIPTION:Since the last decades of the 20th century, globalization has y
 ielded major changes in urbanization patterns and processes across Southeas
 t Asia, especially through the circulation of urban policies and models. Th
 is panel underscores the need to decipher the role of transnational urban m
 odelling, by public or private overseas investment firms, consultancies, an
 d designers. The important roles of specific ‘modern’ discourses and ‘innov
 ative’ models such as smart, green and sustainable cities, also need to be 
 investigated. These shifts in the Southeast Asian city-making paradigm also
  rely on specific initiatives promoted by real estate developers and intern
 ational urban planning professionals; the degree to which these have become
  determinant actors of the urban growth machine needs to be better understo
 od. This panel thus seeks to analyse the evolution of practices by local ac
 tors (public authorities, urban planners, entrepreneurs), the degree to whi
 ch these are influenced by foreign planning approaches, and residents’ refl
 ections of these. Through knowledge exchange, collaborations, and ‘inter-re
 ferencing’ these actors have been appropriating and reformulating transnati
 onal urban policies and models to create development models adapted to loca
 l specificities and objectives. Our case studies focus on a range of these 
 urban production dynamics in Southeast Asia: (1) urban planners’ perception
 s of foreign influences in urban planning of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam;
  (2) the transformation of Sihanoukville, a mid-sized, coastal city in Camb
 odia, following the arrival of significant Chinese investment; (3) the perc
 eptions of Hanoi’s urban residents regarding a new urban railway constructe
 d by overseas developers and strongly supported by the Vietnamese state; (4
 ) the role of transnational urban modelling in the making of metropolises i
 n Ho Chi Minh City Metropolitan Area southern Vietnam, focusing on new urba
 n-industrial forms and new town concepts, and the degree to which the disco
 urses of urban real estate developers and the municipal government regardin
 g the benefits of these have been accepted or not. Together these empirical
  cases will provide important insights into the discourses, practices, and 
 local responses regarding urban modelling in Southeast Asia.
