The views expressed do not represent the official stance of SMU. The 2025 Dialogue, themed ‘What is the value of urban resilience,’ was a tentpole event of SMU’s 25th anniversary celebration. It aimed to generate practical and actionable recommendations to stimulate and catalyze positive changes in urban development.
