Drawing from her time and impact as President & CEO whilst at the NYC Economic Development Corporation, Rachel spoke on the pivotal role of intentional place policy and investment in fostering urban health. From the Cities perspective, with experience in revitalizing Time Square and one of the “wow” city transformations in New York – the Brooklyn foreshore – she emphasized, “conscious place policy and investment can totally transform a city and keep it healthy – even in trying times.”
伍兹贝格全球设计总监 Domenic Alvaro 则深入探讨了城市再生的艺术，并向观众展示了伍兹贝格在城市再生领域的多个标杆项目 - 从铁路改造到会展中心，再到中心商业区。他分享道：“伍兹贝格‘以人为本’的核心设计理念一直引导着我们创造不仅能回应当下，而且足够灵活以适应未来发展的项目。” 此外，Domenic 还以近期正式向公众开放的悉尼中央车站为例，强调了综合交通规划在解决城市设计挑战中的关键作用，以及在地性设计的力量：更可持续、更具韧性。”Dom delved into the art of revitalizing cities, stating, “At Woods Bagot, we believe that human experience is the compass of our design process, guiding us to create projects that not only respond to the present but are also flexible enough to embrace the future.” He shared with the audience of Woods Bagot’s most city revitalizing projects – from transformative rail to convention centres, to shopping districts. As well as highlighting the crucial role of integrated transport planning in tackling urban design challenges, using Sydney Central Station as a compelling case study. Dom’s closing remarks resonated with the power of indigenous narratives, asserting, “True Indigenous narratives are the resilience and the fruit of sustainable endeavors.”
