Join us Tuesday, September 14, 2021, at 3 PM (+8 GMT) for our BizTalks webinar with KSK Land on the topic of Placemaking in an Urban Setting Post Pandemic.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, placemaking will have a more important role in transforming the property landscape in the future. More than just promoting better urban design, placemaking facilities, usage of creative patterns, attentiveness to the physical, cultural, and social identities that define a place, will support its ongoing evolution.

Placemaking is vital in promoting community bonding and strengthens cultural identity, diversity, and inclusiveness. From a quantitative point of view, improving public spaces also has numerous health, tourism, and commercial advantages.
