Young Urbanists of Southeast Asia

Hello! We're the Young Urbanists of Southeast Asia, a pan-Southeast Asian network of young people interested in Southeast Asian urbanism.

Da Nang taught me that a city should treat humans like humans This city understands people, and the people understand the city

To address the challenges of peri-urban & informal communities that are vulnerable to climate risks, #TsinghuaRen Dao co-founded @YUSEA_insights & shared on #COP29 & #COP30 as a Vietnamese Youth Delegate to bring youth perspectives to co-create sustainable cities.#MyTsinghuaStory

“#UrbanDevelopment is not just about infrastructure—it’s about people, equity & resilience,” says #TsinghuaRen Nguyen Dang Dao (Vietnam), a #ClassOf2025 from @SchwarzmanOrg. Seeing how rapid transformation left vulnerable groups behind deepened his resolve for #SustainableCities.

Excited to see these pictures from the newly-opened @georgetownsfs Asia Pacific (GSAP) in Jakarta, Indonesia. This campus brings @Georgetown to its third global location, joining Washington, DC, and Doha, Qatar.
