Event Synopsis
|
As cities evolve, urban practitioners and policymakers face increasingly complex challenges in meeting the diverse needs of residents, businesses and visitors. Beyond creating functional spaces, cities of the future must also strive to enhance overall quality of life, and up the ante in providing well-loved places that add character and distinctiveness to cityscapes. This CLC lecture explores how the urban practice of creating liveable and lovable cities must be both a science – in how certain aspects liveability can be broken down and measured, and an art – where intangible elements like social interactions and urban design become instrumental in shaping the built environments we inhabit. Join our keynote speaker and distinguished panel as they delve into what makes a city tick and thrive, to go beyond the brick-and-mortar façades of our cityscapes to uncover the ‘urban software’ and sense of place that define truly defines great cities. The panel discussion will deliberate on how good practices of urban planning, design and management can meaningfully facilitate the “softer” aspects of urban life, to fostering better community interactions, social well-being and cultural vibrancy. Overall, this can lead to increased emotional attachment of the city by residents and its attractiveness to investors and visitors.
