Join us for this edition of the The Palafox Show featuring Jun Palafox, Asia's best known activist Architect and Urban Planner. He will present a fascinating lecture for senior business leaders entitled: Asian Cities Ascending: Vertical Urbanism and The Architecture of Tall Buildings.
Be with us on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 4 (2pm - 6pm) at Tower 6789 (formerly Alphaland Tower), Makati's newest and most talked about office tower. Free parking in the building.
There is a dire need for new or extended cities of a million inhabitants across Asia, and this is driving simultaneous massive growth in hundreds of cities. Urban sprawl isn’t sustainable anymore. We really have to change our paradigm and go vertical. In the near future, the majority of the tallest buildings in the world will be in Asia.
Postwar Philippine cities adopted low density, low rise, urban sprawl ala Hollywood, Los Angeles. Asian cities like Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai and Dubai developed vertical urbanism ala European cities like London, Paris, and American cities like New York, Chicago, Boston, the more sustainable cities today.
Jun Palafox will speak on these subjects and others as he has done at Harvard, MIT and similar institutions around the world. Jun's firm, Palafox Associates, ranks among the world's top 100 Architectural Firms by World Architecture Magazine -- and was first in Southeast Asia to be included on the list. Considered among the most prominent architects and urban planners in Asia, he has been engaged in high-profile real estate projects in 37 countries over the past 40 years.
The half-day executive learning session will be of interest to senior business leaders, real estate investors, developers, bankers, engineers, architects, urban planners, government and anyone with interest in real estate.
