When Identity Becomes Your Most Valuable Asset
In today’s competitive economic landscape, infrastructure and buildings alone are no longer enough to attract investment. A distinct place identity has emerged as the decisive factor that sets successful cities, nations, and projects apart—transforming them into compelling investment brands.
