For people who make cities worth living in.
Friends engage with ideas, while Fellows are closer to the pulse and step deeper into the work. Everyone is a citymaker; the difference is intention.
For anyone curious about how cities are made, and willing to put a little behind it.

- · Newsletter — monthly stories, insights, and updates delivered to your inbox

You begin to see your city differently, and sense that it could be otherwise.
You follow the ideas, explore the Commons, and join the conversation.
You step closer to the work by becoming a Fellow and taking part in what gets shaped.
You carry responsibility for a city, district, institution or portfolio — and help shape what comes next.
Come in as a Friend.
Friendship is a small commitment to a larger conversation. It keeps the Commons open and gives you a place among people thinking seriously about how cities can be better lived.
This is our inaugural year, and we are building the Fellowship in real-time. Read this note.
Apply to become a Fellow.
Tell us a little about the work you’re doing in your city, what matters to you, and what you hope to change. If Fellowship feels like the right fit, we’ll write back with an invitation to join.
If you were there, your place is being held for you.
Everyone who was with us at the Glass Dome on 17 June 2026 belongs to the founding cohort. Paid ticket holders are welcomed as Founding Fellows; complimentary and subsidised ticket holders as Friends — with no fee and no application required. Enter your registered email below to claim your place.
The Commons stays open
Some of the Commons will always remain free. Friends and Fellows help sustain the deeper work, and keep good ideas in circulation.
Convenings that aren't for sale
Our salons and closed-door gatherings are supported by members, not sponsors — creating space for candid, independent conversation.
A body, not an audience
Fellows are people we know, can reach, and can call on — to contribute to research, shape programmes, review ideas and help move the work forward.
The LfC Fellowship is for individuals. The Circle is for those who carry a city, an institution, or a portfolio.
Friend · SGD 18.80 a year — Fellow · SGD 188 a year, by application
A membership for people who care about how cities are made. Friends and Fellows share full access to the Commons; Fellows step closer to the work, with priority and exclusive access to selected gatherings, salons and experiences.

The Circle is not another tier of membership. It is stewardship that helps carry the wider ecology — sustaining the rooms, bursaries, mentoring, and initiatives that allow the Fellowship to meaningfully grow.
