In an era where malls are racing toward high-tech experiences, some are taking a very different route: nostalgia. 

Let’s Talk, Singapore speaks to Mr George Chan, General Manager, City Square Mall, Retail Assets, Asset Management Division, City Developments Limited (CDL) as they explore the rise of “Newtro” culture, why younger consumers are drawn to retro experiences, and how malls are blending heritage, storytelling and modern retail to stay relevant today. 

Join Neil Humphreys & Audrey Siek - LIVE every Monday, Wednesday & Friday at 7.20am for Talk of the Town!
