The purpose of this project is to address the critical urban phenomenon of "alienation-by-malling," where the privatisation of central public spaces leads to community fragmentation and isolation. As urbanisation intensifies, traditional public spaces that foster social interaction are increasingly being replaced by mall-centric developments that prioritise commercial interests over public needs. This transformation creates social, cultural, and environmental deficiencies that undermine the potential for vibrant and inclusive communities.
