With our city’s decay and inadequate low-income housing, a series of programs has been proposed by the government, which could transform the current state of our housing. For architects, this presents an opportunity for a city makeover, making old areas lively and useful again. Who are these architects behind the scenes leading the charge in urban renewal?

Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Rogers is best known for his work on the Pompidou Centre in Paris. Driven by his passion for cities and commitment to sustainability, he was inspired to initiate an ‘Urban Renaissance.’ This concept impacts everyone, from individuals struggling with poverty to addressing the current housing crisis and revitalizing the dynamism of towns and cities.
