The Zhuhai Leaders in Urban Governance Programme 2015 was launched on 30 June 2015. The three-day training programme is designed and conducted by the Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC), to share Singapore’s experience and the key principles observed in creating a liveable and sustainable city. 

Zhuhai Party Secretary Li Jia and Mayor Jiang Ling met the Chairman of CLC’s Advisory Board and Zhuhai’s chief planning advisor Dr Liu Thai Ker, and CLC’s panel experts yesterday. Mr Li Jia said that Singapore is an internationally recognised liveable city and serves as a benchmark for Zhuhai. He thanked Dr Liu and his team for encouraging the strategic collaboration between CLC and Zhuhai and supporting Zhuhai’s effort in building an internationally acclaimed liveable city. He expressed his wish for Dr Liu and his team to continue advising Zhuhai on the creation of a liveable city and arranging for regular training programmes for Zhuhai officials. This will provide the officials an opportunity to learn from Singapore’s experience in order to continuously improve on Zhuhai’s urban development, which will contribute to Zhuhai’s attempt in achieving preliminary results in the creation of a liveable city by 2020, and to realise its vision by 2030. 

Zhuhai Vice Mayor Pan Ming, while delivering his opening address at the launch of the training programme yesterday, urged the participants to make full use of the opportunity to learn from the experts, and apply the knowledge gained during the programme to their daily work in building a globally acclaimed liveable city in Zhuhai. He also invited the experts to provide their valuable comments on Zhuhai. 

Dr Liu Thai Ker said: “Zhuhai’s collaboration with CLC to deliver the Zhuhai Leaders in Urban Governance Programme signifies Zhuhai government’s commitment to develop Zhuhai into a liveable city. To become a highly liveable city, Singapore has consistently pursued three outcomes namely Competitive Economy, Sustainable Environment and High Quality of Life. Integrated master planning and dynamic urban governance are the integral systems to attaining these three outcomes of a liveable and sustainable city. I hope that Zhuhai will find the training useful and draw lessons from Singapore’s development experience.” 

Zhuhai officials will be trained by a distinguished panel of experts including Mr Loh Ah Tuan, Mr Tan Siong Leng, Mr Wong Kai Yeng and Mr Loh Chow Kuang. The three-day programme will introduce to the participants the CLC Liveability Framework and Urban System Studies . By using multiple case studies from different sectors in Singapore, the programme will enable participants to discuss issues and share experiences in creating a high-density and high-liveability city, ranging from integrated master planning, urban governance, housing, land, building control, water management, sustainable environment and transport. 

60 senior Zhuhai officials, including Vice Mayor Pan Ming and other key position holders in various bureaus and districts attended the inaugural training programme.

### 新加坡通过珠海城市治理领袖项目分享其城市发展经验

“2015年珠海城市治理领袖项目”于2015年6月30日启动。该为期三天的培训课程由宜居城市中心（CLC）设计并实施，旨在分享新加坡的经验，以及在打造宜居、可持续城市过程中所遵循的关键原则。

珠海市委书记李嘉和市长江凌昨日会见了CLC顾问委员会主席、珠海首席规划顾问刘太格博士，以及CLC专家小组成员。李嘉表示，新加坡是国际公认的宜居城市，是珠海的标杆。他感谢刘博士及其团队推动CLC与珠海的战略合作，并支持珠海建设国际一流宜居城市的努力。他希望刘博士及其团队继续为珠海打造宜居城市提供顾问支持，并为珠海官员安排定期培训项目。这将为官员们提供学习新加坡经验的机会，以持续改进珠海的城市发展，助力珠海在2020年前在宜居城市建设方面取得初步成果，并在2030年实现其愿景。

珠海市副市长潘明昨日在培训项目启动仪式上致开幕辞时，敦促学员充分利用机会向专家学习，并将课程所学应用到日常工作中，以把珠海建设成全球公认的宜居城市。他也邀请专家们就珠海提出宝贵意见。

刘太格博士说：“珠海与CLC合作推出‘珠海城市治理领袖项目’，体现了珠海市政府将珠海发展为宜居城市的决心。要成为高度宜居的城市，新加坡始终追求三个目标，即具竞争力的经济、可持续的环境与高品质的生活。综合总体规划与动态城市治理，是实现宜居、可持续城市这三大目标的核心体系。我希望珠海觉得此次培训有用，并从新加坡的发展经验中汲取启示。”

珠海官员将由包括罗亚端先生、陈祥令先生、黄凯英先生和罗昭光先生在内的杰出专家小组授课。为期三天的课程将向学员介绍CLC宜居性框架与城市系统研究。通过运用新加坡不同领域的多个案例研究，课程将使学员能够围绕高密度、高宜居城市的创建进行讨论并分享经验，涵盖综合总体规划、城市治理、住房、土地、建筑管制、水资源管理、可持续环境与交通等领域。

包括副市长潘明在内的60名珠海高级官员，以及其他各局、区关键岗位负责人，参加了首届培训项目。
