Giving Our Local Spaces a Facelift

Giving Our Local Spaces a Facelift

A recent viral tweet highlighted the successful revamp of Pasar Seni, which has not only modernized the space but also significantly boosted its popularity among both locals and tourists. This got us thinking: what other local spots could benefit from a similar facelift? We discuss this, and also hear from our well-travelled listeners about the places beyond our borders that we can learn from in terms of placemaking and urban planning.
