Placemaking

Placemaking can improve the economic viability of a place and offer opportunities for building healthy, productive, resilient societies.

Resilience

Resilience refers to how the people, institutions, organisations and systems within a city are able to survive, adapt and grow, despite major stressors or shocks that may occur.

Analytics

Analytics is the discovery, interpretation, and communication of meaningful patterns in data. This involves data collection, cleaning and integration, analysis and interpretation, visualisation and communication.

Conservation & Adaptive Reuse

Think City’s Conservation practice works on preserving built heritage and structural integrity through carefully-planned interventions. This includes preparing master plans as the basis of reference for interventions, restorations and adapted space use — connecting heritage building owners to new businesses so that these buildings have new relevance in modern life.

Think City Institute

 

Cities around the world are undergoing an unprecedented period of physical, social and economic transformation. Past solutions are quickly proving inadequate and outdated, and new approaches are required for cities to level up. With global events spurring urgent need for advanced urban policy and solutions, we have consolidated our expertise into a learning institution based in Penang, Malaysia to deepen the capacity of citymakers in the region.
