Urbanscapes, Malaysia’s longest-running creative arts festival, concluded with fanfare after a nine-day takeover of the much-beloved city of Kuala Lumpur. Boasting up to 80 programmes from 16 to 24 Nov 2019, this year’s festival gathered a record turnout close to 85,000 festival-goers to #ReconnectKLas they explored happening to-dos that activated from Medan Pasar, River of Life, REXKL, The Godown KL, Sentul Depot, Kwai Chai Hong, Lorong Bandar 13, Lorong Panggung, to other unique spaces in the heart of the city.
