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 Past solutions are quickly proving inadequate and outdated, and new approaches are required for cities to level up.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 to deepen the capacity of city-makers in the region.

Urban Policy Series

The Urban Policy Series is a special initiative by Think City to bring together key thought leaders in addressing the multiple dimensions of urban transformation. These policy notes aim to raise public awareness about specific issues and frame these issues in a manner that stimulates public debate and policy dialogue.

Workplace Guides

The Think City Institute has put together some guides which can be used for quick implementation at workplaces and construction sites before the re-start of activities. The guides contain key principles and to-do lists for building and site managers to create healthy and safe work environments for staff & visitors, either during MCO or immediately after.

The guides were written referencing SOPs issued by Malaysian authorities and recommended best practices from around the world.
