Neighbourhood Innovation Lab believes close neighbourly relationships create the unique charm of each neighbourhood. Through various community innovation projects, we seek to understand how to foster an inclusive neighbourhood identity in dense Asian cities.

Using design thinking as our methodology, our projects connect to and create partnerships across multiple neighbourhood stakeholders. By opening up conversations and dialogues, we envision to shape inclusive and human-centred neighbourhoods. Towards the future, we are keen to explore the integration of civic technology and use of data to empower cities and their citizens.

We are an initiative by Architecture Commons. In 2020, we have been named Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas 2020 under the Spaces, Places, and Cities category as Honourable Mention, and awarded Good Design Award in 2022.
