The Government of Japan introduced the 9th Asia-Pacific Urban Forum (APUF-9), which will be held in Yokohama in 2027, at the 9th Committee on Environment and Development (CED9), organized by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) in Bangkok, Thailand, from July 1 to 3.
APUF is one of the largest international conferences in the Asia-Pacific region focused on sustainable urban development, bringing together national governments, local authorities, international organizations, researchers, and other stakeholders. APUF-9 in 2027 will be jointly hosted by ESCAP and the City of Yokohama, marking the forum’s first-ever meeting in Japan.
The City of Yokohama hosted a promotional booth at the CED9 venue to showcase not only APUF-9 but also GREEN×EXPO 2027, which will also be held in Yokohama that year.

The City of Yokohama will continue its preparations for the successful hosting of APUF-9 in close collaboration with the Government of Japan, ESCAP, and other domestic and international partners.
