“Cultural identity and diversity is what make places unique. As an urban designer - future city shapers, we play a major role in reinforcing the socio-cultural value of the city through place-making while enhancing the city’s economic competitiveness. Cities need to be treated more delicately as cities forms the living experience of people and the experience shapes people’s perception and behaviour”

lifestyle and the strong connection between
community and the natural amenity. The urban design framework aims to support a sustainable and self-efficient future living
whilst maintaining the role of Tegel’s future reuse as an Urban Tech Republic.

Kingsgrove Place will be a gateway centre of a collective character. The centre would provide an urban environment accommodating a new active community where a variety of housing opportunities are provided and well supported with a range of facilities and amenities. The urban centre connects communities of the surrounding neighbourhood and the greater region through its engaging environment. The quality landscaped-boulevard along with the active promenade forms the spine of the centre, offering the living experience of a green neighbourhood together with a productive centre that has a balance function for housing, education, business, leisure and entertainment.
