SPACE
Learn more about what makes a place special to us and how communities can contribute to shaping the places where they live, work and play.
Is high urban density a constraint or an opportunity? Asian cities such as Hong Kong and Singapore often have to negotiate competing different land uses, which may make placemaking efforts more difficult to implement and sustain. Therefore, governments and communities should maximise the potential of local public spaces to create lovable places with people, for all and by all.
The need for intentional effort and teamwork amongst the community is key to placemaking. Without activation by its stakeholders, public spaces will remain as just that – a space. Communities should therefore look towards the value of the area’s unique art, culture and heritage to shape a distinctive identity and great place for all.
