Social Space is the flagship publication of the Lien Centre for Social Innovation, at the Singapore Management University. Since the magazine made its debut in 2008, it has provided a platform for local and international thinkers on social innovation. In 2016, to keep up with growing interest in the topic and higher readership, Social Space upped its frequency to two issues annually.
