On 22 May 2023, a meeting was held at Chubu University to edit a report for the Sukhumvit Model, which includes a policy proposal to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and others. The editorial team was composed of Associate Professor Apiwat Ratanawaha from Chulalongkorn University, along with Prof. Yoshitsugu Hayashi, Dr Hiroyuki Takeshita, and Mr Titipakorn Prakayaphun from Chubu University. They reviewed each chapter drafted by all research groups and discussed the direction for editing the report. The editorial team concluded that the report should be summarised in a way that is easily understandable, serving as a useful handbook for governmental practitioners such as the BMA. They established the next milestone to complete the report by October 2023, and they plan to hold a dissemination workshop in Bangkok to present it to the BMA and other stakeholders.
