Niaga SPOTLIGHT: Merdeka Special | Urban renewal economics

On this Merdeka Special, NIAGA SPOTLIGHT looks at Urban Renewal Economics and the next chapter for Downtown Kuala Lumpur: culture and the creative economy as drivers of growth, restoring heritage assets for productive use, community-led regeneration, accessibility — all while centring and benefitting existing KL residents.

Tehmina Kaoosji speaks with Izan Satrina Mohd Sallehuddin, Senior Director at Think City, about building a capital that can grow economically while remaining liveable, inclusive and distinctly Malaysian.
