PUTTING PEOPLE & PLACE FIRST
OUR MISSION
ABOUT
OUR STORY
Our mission is to recognise leadership, foster global alliances and promote knowledge exchange for the creation and stewardship of successful public places throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
Place Leaders is a member organisation for the promotion of leadership among 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 and product development.
Established in 2004 Place Leaders was founded by the leaders of large public sector agencies who were planning and developing major urban land projects or managing urban precincts. These organisations continue to remain a vital part of Place Leaders today and our ecosystem has expanded to recognise that place champions and place leaders operate in many professional, community and governance contexts, both large scale and small. We all share a commitment to the collaborative and inclusive culture that makes for better place outcomes and holistic place experiences.
