Our Mission

We recognise leadership, foster global alliances and promote knowledge exchange for the creation and stewardship of successful public places throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

About Us

Place Leaders is a member organisation for the promotion of leadership amongst place planners, managers, shapers and makers working in the Asia-Pacific region.

 

We connect and cultivate relationships between leaders across all tiers of government, industry, academia and arts to drive the collective conversations that no one sector can have alone.

 

We work towards improving the quality of place outcomes through sharing expertise, learning from best practice, thought leadership, research, celebrating excellence and product development.

Our Story

Established in 2004 Place Leaders was founded by the leaders of large public sector agencies who were planning and developing major urban land projects and renewal precincts. 

 

Today our ecosystem has expanded to recognise place champions and place leaders that lead, advocate and influence place in many professional, community and governance contexts, both large scale and small.

 

We all share a commitment to a collaborative inclusive culture that delivers remarkable place outcomes and holistic place experiences.
