A vegetable plot springs up near a disused tennis court. A filthy back lane gets turned into a mini playground for the neighbourhood. Yasmin Ras of EcoKnights talks about place-making, the art of reclaiming public spaces for the community using sustainable means. And Susan Tam discusses one of Kuala Lumpur’s early examples of the activity: the TTDI Edible Project, where the area’s residents produce their own greens.
