In 2020 and 2021 Swire Properties released two Places Impact Reports, titled “The Creative Transformation of Island East and Development of Taikoo Place” and “The Creative Transformation of Taikoo Li Sanlitun” respectively. Quarry Bay, in Hong Kong Island’s Eastern District, was the original area where Swire Group began our placemaking journey over 130 years ago, and Taikoo Li in Sanlitun in Beijing was Swire Properties’ 昀椀rst completed development in the Chinese Mainland. These two reports are important pieces of research for us as we set out to deepen our understanding of what makes a great place and to evaluate how we can measure the impact of our places. We wanted to continue our exploration of the four dimensions of place - Vibrancy, Livelihood, Wellbeing, and Resilience - to determine if they can be applied in multiple di昀昀erent contexts. As a result, we embarked upon our third place impact study focussing on Taikoo Hui Guangzhou.
