It was a pleasure to be part of the Gensler Design Forecast Live 2025 at the Nikki Beach Hotel. I am particularly grateful to Steven Velegrinis for the invitation and my fellow panelists, Dr. Louise Lambert, Ismail Al Naqi, and Hrvoje Cindrić, for their contributions to an insightful discussion on the future of Experience-Driven Districts in the region. I look forward to attending the 2026 edition.
