REIMAGINING OUR NEW URBAN...

Break Grounds. Build Change. Birth Hope. Let us start building a New Urban by asking and reimagining what is possible:

Restore Ladders: How do we define and ensure a decent quality of life in a ‘new urban’ world?

Rethink Learning: How can we learn and practice how to be happy?

Global Citizenship: How can we target local problems with a global perspective and cross-cultural partnerships?

Housing & Space: How can we reimagine the way we co-live by connecting private and public spaces?

Health & Wellness
How does the meaning of “wellness” differ between different age groups and across cultures?

Sustainable Living
How can we motivate people to transform awareness into everyday action to promote sustainability?

Inclusive Society: How do we facilitate conversation with a diverse community and ensure that all voices are heard?

Wisdom City: How can we share knowledge within a community and nurture human values in an increasingly “smart” city?

Shape Culture:
What role does art and media play in daily life to foster creative expression and a sense of freedom?
