While Asia Pacifics growth drivers are multifaceted and difficult to generalize, they typically have involved strong coordination of government and business agendas around regional and global trade, focused investments in infrastructure, and in particular a willingness to adopt and develop leading-edge technologies. Cities, in this sense, have been at the heart of Asia Pacifics growth, serving as the catalysts for the regions thriving trade, innovation and opportunity. The United Nations Human Settlements Program, in its 2016 World Cities Report, estimates that Asias cities grew by nearly one billion people between 1995 and 2015more than all other regions in the world combined. 2.1 billion Asians live in cities, 53% of the regions population, and those numbers grow by over two million a month.Urban growth has also brought challenges fast-expanding cities have strained transportation, power and sanitation infrastructure, particularly problematic in Asia Pacifics poorer cities. Increased energy consumption, deforestation and car ownership in the region has turned Asia Pacific into the worlds largest contributors to greenhouse gas.

But the increased consumer insight advertisers derive from this enhanced connectivity comes with a quid pro quo: “Passive advertising is OK, but active ads become intrusive,” Milne finds. “Moreover, brand owners have to provide more relevant ads, along with other services.” Such services, he predicts, might include augmented-reality displays for wayfinding in the public transportation network.Sethumadhavan also sees this shift facilitating the delivery of new and enhanced public services, and empowering Asian consumers to boot, as the “fabric of the data surrounding them at all times” makes them aware of the things they need without Pervasive personalization: The value exchange between cities and consumers “Government-funded infrastructure lays the foundation, but in order for smart cities to blossom, the private sector must take more responsibility.” Arvind Sethumadhavan, Asia Pacific Chief Innovation Officer, Dentsu Aegis Network
