At Cistri, we believe that successful city shaping is a collaborative effort, built on partnership and mutual exchange of knowledge between practices and disciplines.   As part of this, we were delighted to share about our work in urban economics and masterplanning with Cundall Singapore. In our presentation, we showcased a variety of projects, each with its own unique character, demonstrating our different workflows across our business units. These projects spanned market studies, feasibility and master planning, economic positioning, and retail strategies.   Thank you Cundall for having us, and we look forward to future engagements with industry partners who share our passion for shaping cities and communities for a better future. #cityshaper #economics #design #urbanplanning Melissa Luki Tegi Dimantano Lois Belle Wong Guan Ru Pan Carmen Gum

🌟 Empowering the Future Leaders of Urbis and Cistri🌟    Stepping into the role of an Associate Director at Urbis means embracing new leadership responsibilities and becoming a custodian of our strategy. Our recent Associate Director Transform workshop was a tailored learning and networking event designed to equip our newly promoted and lateral hires with the skills and insights needed to excel in their roles.    This immersive one-day workshop brought together a diverse group from across Australia and our Singapore office, Cistri. We kicked off with an inspiring keynote from Urbis CEO Benjamin Pollack, followed by a future-focused fireside chat highlighting the critical role of digital transformation in our industry. Attendees also benefited from a practical session on effective delegation and a lively panel discussion which underscored the importance of understanding the client lifecycle and delivering an excellent client experience.    Ilona Bartsch, a Heritage AD, had this to say on the experience. “AD Transform was a priceless opportunity to hear about the future direction of Urbis and learn from our peers. Amongst all of the learning, development and strategising, what will stay with me the longest is the connections I made.”   It was a great day of meeting new people, learning new skills and setting the expectations for this talented cohort. Our Associate Directors left feeling empowered and ready to drive Urbis and Cistri forward for a brighter future. 🚀 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gKU4Tu9m #CityShaper
