Living In Asia is dedicated to urban development in Asia. The site covers topics such as construction, urban design, heritage conservation, notable architecture, infrastructure, and transport in cites of Southeast and East Asia.
Where in Asia?
The site will initially cover the cities I visit most in Asia: Saigon, Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Hong Kong. Over time I will add more cities from East Asia: Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Shanghai.
What this site provides
I’ve put this site together to put information (good and bad) in one place. I’ve found that project information can be fractured across several sites, or be too much of a sales pitch (when on real estate sites). This site doesn’t offer investment advice on real estate projects.
