Yvonne Siow is co-founder of PlayPan, a social movement that transforms underutilised commercial spaces into "creative playgrounds" where an eclectic mix of people and organisations come together to spark off new ideas and experiences — and in doing so, co-create a more colourful and empowering sense of community.
