Urban living is not about enduring a concrete jungle devoid of soul. It’s about living it up — hence "live!" (pronounced as live, not life).

It is no secret that Malaysian cities are peppered generously with a celebration of creativity. Be it in the spaces, architecture, lifestyle or eateries, one will find ample inspiration drawn from our diverse, colourful and rich cultural canvas that has little match.

As we strive to travel far and wide for insights into city living, often there is an unfortunate tendency to miss or even acknowledge their beauty and intriguing stories right in our midst.

This is something that live! hopes to correct. Why, you may ask, is EdgeProp.my — which is everything property — publishing this magazine? Because real estate is at the core of all facets of "living".

Real estate and the community share an intricate and inseparable affinity; one defines the other. There is no doubt that with the right intention and approach, the impact of the union is priceless.

Not only has the EdgeProp.my team had fun putting together this magazine but the journey has also helped opened our eyes to rare and invaluable insights that have further shaped our outlook of city living.

We hope it does the same for you. Happy reading and don’t forget to: Live it up. Live well. "live!"
