Marcus Evans Annual Event Shows Livability Mixed Use Development Through Effective Place Making and Spatial Planning

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, June 06, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Featuring international industry experts from various regions, 3rd Annual Mixed Use Development conference is certainly not an event to be missed. Proudly presented by Marcus Evans, this Singapore annual event will be happening from 17th – 19th July at the Pan Pacific Hotel.

One of the speakers, Mark Richards, Managing Director at TURNER & TOWNSEND, Singapore explains why is it important for customers to understand the specific needs of retailers and individual customers for mixed use development projects, “For mixed use schemes to work well you have to get the balance right, it is therefore so important to understand both the needs of retailers and customers. It is usually the simple things that get overlooked such as loading, storage and logistics areas for retailers and for customers legibility of large schemes can be a big detractor. Shoppers like to know where they are and in comparison shopping areas like to be able to, quickly, get back to something they have seen and have in mind to buy."

The conference will be featuring key presentations by industry experts from various regions in the world such as Eli Konvitz, Director Of Planning - South East Asia, Atkins Global, Hong Kong; Dr Lim Lan Yuan President - Singapore Chapter FIABCI, SINGAPORE; Kipsan Beck, Managing Director – Mahanakhon Pace Development Group, Thailand; Tan Szue Hann Head, Sustainability Surbana Jurong, Singapore; Sushma Goh, Director, Architecture-Infrastructure Design & Engineering Group, Land Transport Authority (LTA), Singapore; Lim Teck Leong, Director, Physical Planning Urban Redevelopment Authority, Singapore; Scott Dun, Vice President for Southeast Asia AECOM, Singapore; Mark Richards, Managing Director - South & South East Asia Turner & Townsend, Singapore; Chew Tai Chong, President- Global Business & Operations Samsung C & T Corporation; Jeff Doble Director Of Transportation Design & Associate Principal Perkins + Will, Canada; Michael Grove Principal SASAKI, USA; Salvador Tan Assistant Vice President, Urban & Regional Planning Division Ayala Land, Philippines who will be speaking at the conference shared that, “this conference is a good opportunity to find out what’s new in Singapore and the rest of the world in terms of mixed-use developments and then see what we could apply or adapt to our own projects. This should be a good learning experience.”

The event will be featuring series of plenary sessions, innovative case studies, and interactive discussions along with an exclusive site tour at the Jurong Lake District – Jurong Gateway Singapore.
