While our entire lives have become faster and more convenient, our cities are having a hard time adapting to our new demands for flexibility, variety, and convenience. Keith Griffiths predicts that the future cities will consist of high density city hubs that are built around the CBDs, over subway interchanges and major road intersections.

With over 35 years experience in designing in Asia, he has designed award-winning, successful projects for most of the leading developers in Asia, and his experience includes high-rise, mixed commercial, retail, and masterplanning as well as airport and civic buildings.
