The event took place on the 7th of the August and the theme ‘Let’s Revive My City: One Space at a Time’.
The YPLAB is a day workshop for young professionals (under 40 years of age) to come together and contribute ideas to revive a selected urban enclave. This year’s site was Medan Pasar, a square surrounded by historical buildings and a clock tower.
The event was filled with youthful energy and vigour; participants (divided into 10 groups) required to carry out site analyses, highlight issues to be addressed and propose ideas and solutions to be presented a panel of judges.
