Move in the Right Direction

Post-Pandemic Recovery Plans

Discover the 10 ways of creating public spaces that improve people’s health,

according to Lucy Sanders, the creator of the Healthy Streets Approach. First

adopted in London, it is now being applied in cities around the world.

Localising food and supply chains, growing local greens and using

technology are some strategies cities have adopted to embrace the ‘new normal’ in a post-pandemic era. Five

experts, including CLC’s Research Director Limin Hee, share how their cities are turning the crisis into opportunities.

Ageing Well Together

Sustainable Finance for Liveability

At Kampung Admiralty, a model for ageing in place, seniors can join a mass exercise, check on their health, and even play with their grandchildren—all at their

doorstep. The entire development is designed with the elderly in mind.

COVID-19 has reinforced the need for resilient cities, and has put much of the world’s focus in healthcare resilience.

This can only be achieved through sustainable and innovative financing

schemes, says CLC’s Executive Director Khoo Teng Chye in an interview with

Standard Chartered.
