URBAN RECHARGE & COMMERCIAL HUB IN BANGSAR
A THIRD PLACE FOR THE PEOPLE OF BANGSAR
Urban Recharge and Commercial Hub is where civic and commercial hub comes together to provide inclusive space for the food delivery riders with opportunities for them to rest, gather, pickup delivery and most of all reconnect with the local community. The commercial part of the building also introduces multiple socio-economic activites, potentially making the area more lively and vibrant. It also serves as a place for community interaction through the introduction of public green space such as amphitheater and sky park. This mixture of civic and commercial hub aims to encourage rejuvenation of urban vitality, create sense of inclusion for the rider community and rekindle social connection between communities of Bangsar.
