Tokyo Development Learning Center (TDLC): Celebrating 20 Years of Knowledge Sharing for Livable Cities

This year marks a significant milestone for the World Bank's Tokyo Development Learning Center (TDLC) as it celebrates two decades of facilitating knowledge sharing and collaborative learning to create more livable and sustainable urban environments. Join us from October 17-18, 2024 for a hybrid event (online and in-person in Tokyo, Japan) as we celebrate 20 years of strong partnership between the Government of Japan and the World Bank and Japan's leadership in urban development.

Aligning with the World Bank's vision of “A world free of poverty on a livable planet,” TDLC supports national and local governments to create more livable and sustainable cities. Its knowledge exchange activities include Technical Deep Dives, operational support, and the publication of knowledge products.

By sharing Japan's extensive expertise in urban development—including in waste management, water and sewage systems, urban regeneration, transit-oriented development, urban resilience, and disaster prevention—TDLC has provided invaluable insights to government officials and municipal leaders in developing countries. This knowledge exchange, further enriched by contributions from Japanese ministries, municipalities, the private sectors and academia, is contributing to improved urban policies and development projects worldwide.
