Bangkok Design Week 2024: Creating a 'Livable Scape'

Published on 12/01/2024

» Bangkok, with a population exceeding 10 million, consistently ranks as a "must-visit" city due to its diverse attractions, affordable cuisine, reasonable cost of living, and friendly locals. Despite being a popular global destination, it placed 98th out of 140 cities on the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2021 'Most Livable Cities' list. Challenges such as traffic congestion, inadequate infrastructure, air quality issues, limited green spaces, and public areas, combined with an aging population and cultural changes, contribute to this ranking.
