From our inception in 2009 to manage urban rejuvenation in George Town, Penang, to our presence in cities across Malaysia today, Think City has achieved over a decade of experience and knowledge in the urban landscape.<\/p>\n
Each milestone has strengthened our mission in making cities better places for people to live in, observing the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals as our guide.<\/p>\n

Think City was created to launch the George Town Grants Programme, designed to spearhead urban regeneration, with the goal of promoting community engagement, and to preserve and celebrate heritage through financial and technical support.<\/p>\n Over the next subsequent years, Think City disbursed 240 grants worth MYR16 million (approximately US$4 million) in special projects related to improving the public realm, conservation, capacity building and content development.<\/p>\n Today, George Town boasts a vastly different urban environment. The demonstrative nature of the grant projects, the knowledge and skills developed, and the confidence shown by the market stimulated by co-investments, have successfully sparked urban regeneration efforts on the island and surrounding mainland areas.[\/vc_column_text][\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][qode_elements_holder number_of_columns=”two_columns” custom_class=”hide-on-mobile”][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” advanced_animations=”no” item_padding=”0 15px 0 0″][vc_column_text]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.<\/strong><\/p>\n Through close collaboration and sustained innovation, we continued to develop citymaking know-how while experimenting with different approaches to strengthen our methodologies.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Today, while Think City\u2019s 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.
