Amidst constant urban development, The Four Asian Tigers: Culture, Heritage, and Urban Revitalisation (TFAT) is a publication exploring the namesakes’ capital cities through a selection of eight different case studies and their efforts in engaging with a space’s cultural character. It questions the good, the bad, and asks what can be done for heritage and its impact on communities as cities continue changing.
