It was a great pleasure to spend time recently with Marta Pozo Gil, Director of renowned Architects MVRDV Asia, in order to share a critical dialogue on "Change".

We considered how a necessary 'change in mindset' is fundamental in facilitating quality interventions in the livability of cities

Marta and I discussed the  following key issues: -

  • Can European urban design principles translate successfully to China?

  • What is is that has made the Dutch people build such unique urban space?

  • How to build a stakeholder integration model for a development project?

  • How upcoming technological changes are already affecting our cities?
 
  • Why building inclusive city spaces is so important?​
​“There need to be local solutions to local problems, but bringing in thinkers from different backgrounds is crucial to generate new perspectives and to view things through a different lens.”
