Infusing Life into Cities Through Culture
City centres are more than just bustling hubs of commerce and governance—they are the vibrant heartbeats of urban life, where the fabric of society is intricately woven together. These dynamic cores serve as cultural beacons, reflecting the unique identities of communities around the world. Each city tells a story, shaped by the lived experiences of its people, the architectural styles that define its skyline, and the traditions passed down through generations. The energy of a city is not just in its physical structures but in the cultural practices that breathe life into its spaces, transforming them into living, evolving entities.
Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Taylor's Impact Labs is committed to harnessing this cultural energy to empower communities and address societal challenges. Specifically, the Liveable Urban Communities (LUC) Impact Lab, a transdisciplinary ecosystem within Taylor's University, aims to improve the quality of life in urban areas by focusing on sustainable development. Leading this initiative, the LUC Impact Lab aligns its efforts with SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, which emphasises making cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
