Our Story

Think City Today

Today, Think City is a consultancy and project delivery partner, working in four key areas: Placemaking, Resilience (Environmental and Social), Analytics and Conservation.

Our flagship programmes range from fostering the SDGs in cities and building SDG City Zones, to bolstering social resilience and wellbeing, addressing the urgent call to action on climate change, producing urban data analytics for more informed citymaking, and to culture-based urban regeneration, which includes the conservation and protection of heritage.

Our knowledge arm, Think City Institute runs courses on all areas of urban interventions and houses our digital library of urban resources.

Think City is also a venture builder. In partnership with entrepreneurs, we leverage knowledge, resources, ideas and innovation to build enterprises that can enrich and improve cities.

Working with international and local organisations and institutions, our work today spans across Malaysia and beyond where we focus on achieving the sustainable development goals.

In 2014, Think City expanded into Butterworth, Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur to actively continue urban rejuvenation projects, more actively shaping and supporting other aspects of citymaking, collaborating closely with both the public and private sectors, as well as the community.

Through close collaboration and sustained innovation, we continued to develop citymaking know-how while experimenting with different approaches to strengthen our methodologies.

Having seen and learnt from the impact of early-stage regeneration, we successfully built local, regional and international partnerships alongside growing community participation to catalyse the citymaking movement in Malaysia.

Today, while Think City’s principles rest on high-level thinking in relation to cities in general, our approach and spirit remains foremost with the community, adapting as necessary as implementation challenges arise and new information emerges. Our entrepreneurial DNA underpins the next phase of our work, as does an urgent focus on the Sustainable Development Goals, given the crises affecting cities around the world today.
