Revitalizing Cultural Heritage
Kota Tua is a priceless asset. The preservation of its heritage also offers multiple additional advantages, not only for local culture, but also for aesthetics, society, symbolism, education, and the environment. During the learning sessions, we understood that it is important to work carefully with a comprehensive, integrated, urban planning strategy and to have a fully committed team to implement it. This will allow us to guarantee the sustainability of the old town, to help regenerate it and to balance this with the needs of the people who live in this area and to allowing them to benefit from these changes too.
