The conservation of Yangon’s built, cultural and natural heritage is essential to making it a success. A city’s residents, leaders, business people and innovators are the source of its ability to grow, evolve and meet future challenges. Making Yangon a liveable city will enhance its regional competitiveness and ability to attract future talent and investment. Yangon already has assets that can’t be bought or planned into existence; it is a green and fundamentally well- planned city with rich cultural heritage and one of the best surviving historic cityscapes in Asia. These features provide it with the economic edge needed to succeed in the future and must be protected. By combining the infrastructure necessary for a 21st century city with Yangon’s unique heritage, a set of advantages not available in other cities can be offered to investors, businesses and residents.
