This publication on urban development in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS)—a first of its kind—reflects recognition of the greater potential roles of urban development, increased rural-urban links, and spatial prioritization along GMS transport corridors in the next decade. Investments and nonlending projects in these areas will help widen and deepen the transport corridors, leading to their further development and contributing to inclusive development along and around the regional corridors.
