Session 12: The Fusion of Art and Urban Living

Art is not an addition to the city—it is embedded in its identity.

In the closing keynote of ArtBiz Asia 2025, iconic designer Alan Chan delivered a thought-provoking talk titled “The Fusion of Art and Urban Living.” Drawing from over 55 years of creative work across branding, public design, and cultural strategy, he illustrated how cities can be revitalized through aesthetic thinking and artistic integration.

From heritage revitalization to design-driven placemaking, Alan Chan showed that when art becomes part of daily urban rhythms, it transforms how we live, feel, and connect.
