Cistri + Lopelab, in partnership with the Raffles Place Alliance (Business Improvement District), created a placemaking and activation framework plan in elevating Singapore’s premiere business district as the “Central Buzz District” where talent converges around opportunity, creativity and entrepreneurship. An implementation strategy was developed by tabulating the findings for each objective. The opportunities and recommendations were summarised in a Place Priorities Plan and Potential Location of Programs that were implemented in 2022 and 2023.
The pioneering Implementation Plan acknowledges the significance of building Raffles Place by leveraging on existing resources and assets, testing light, quick and cheap solutions and tapping on existing partnerships for win-win situations.
