Places Impact Report on Taikoo Li Sanlitun

Swire Properties and Tsinghua University's School of Architecture have jointly published a Places Impact Report, "The Creative Transformation of Taikoo Li Sanlitun", which assesses the positive impact that Swire Properties' placemaking and place-keeping efforts have had on the neighbourhood and surrounding area over the past 12 years. Designed as a low-density, open-plan retail complex, Taikoo Li Sanlitun has become one of the capital’s most sought-after leisure and business hubs since its opening in 2008. 

The Places Impact Report is a key initiative of Swire Properties' Sustainable Development (SD) 2030 Strategy and follows on from the first Impact Report on Taikoo Place in Hong Kong, published last year. It applies the "Places Impact Framework" exploring the four dimensions of place – Vibrancy, Livelihood, Wellbeing and Resilience – to assess the qualities of Taikoo Li Sanlitun, how they have changed over time, and how they compare to other commercial complexes in the city. These qualities include investment in hardware, such as infrastructure and public spaces, as well as software, such as engagement with local government, the local community and social initiatives. In addition to the spatial, economic and environmental perspectives, a key element of the report is the "people" indicator which illustrates how Taikoo Li Sanlitun is being used and experienced and highlights the connections people build with the place.
