Quote Of The Day
Redevelopment should not be driven by profit alone. It must prioritize protecting existing residents and delivering long-term benefits to communities living there. Therefore, the adoption of urban renewal must be anchored to households, with a vision to improve the quality of life for households and neighbourhoods.
