"As Jocelyn Chiew puts it, the work of radical renewal is the work of expanding possibilities: “ensuring all people—not just a visible cohort or a majority—have the choice to be their unique selves: in housing; in transport; in how they occupy space.”

“The way you’ve worked to make design... and your role - more visible and engaged with public discourse has had a profound impact on the city. It has not gone unnoticed among all the work you do on city-shaping projects.”
