Through more than a decade of experience in city-making Think City has witnessed first-hand the lack of widespread access to knowledge and best practice principles for professionals and a reluctance on the part of the wider community to be involved in the city-making process. Think City Institute was established as both a knowledge repository and an advocacy and learning arm of Think City. Through our own work and that of a wide range of international partners TCI is building capacity, advocating best practice and is now in the process of building Asia’s most extensive digital library of urbanism.
We are looking for the right person to help us expand – someone who is both hands-on and takes a pragmatic approach to the role.
