WHY WE NEED "GOLDILOCKS URBANISM". Cities do generate benefits from concentrations of talent—but also from “spreading it around.” Striking a balance results in a fairer and more resilient economy, and more livable cities and towns. Getting it wrong results in—what we have. A discussion post for the upcoming 61st International Making Cities Livable conference in beautiful Cortona, Italy:

OPEN EVENT I Desire for a New Society - Designing the Bridge to an Irresistible Future - How do we ignite an inclusive and transformative movement toward a sustainable future?

The survival of people, species, and the planet depends on collective action. But how do we create a movement that is truly diverse and inclusive?

Hot off the Press - the first Real Estate Leaders Roundtable Whitepaper from PropertyGuru For Business. Last December at the PropertyGuru Asia Real Estate Summit (ARES) 2023, we organized the first #RealEstate Leaders Roundtable titled "Digital Urbanism Unplugged: Balancing Human-Centric Needs with Technological Innovation Towards Sustainable Urban Development". Moderated by my esteemed colleague Dr. Nai Jia Lee, Head of Real Estate Intelligence, we gathered 16 thought leaders, including representatives from UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme), Arup, CBRE, Economist Intelligence Corporate Network and HLB International, and discussed the challenges and opportunities in leveraging #data and #technology to address the challenges and opportunities in #urbanisation and #climatechange. This whitepaper is timely. At the KL20 Summit last week, we talked about how technology is a key enabler to designing human-centred #smartcities of the future. With growing urgency around climate change, migration and #housingaffordability, it is more important than ever to harness the power of data and technology. At PropertyGuru Group, we power communities to live, work and thrive in tomorrow's cities. Looking forward to work closely with our industry stakeholders in making better decisions today to benefit future generations.
