Contributions of the British to Public Housing and Town Planning in Singapore
Authors
Khoo Teng Chye, Stewart Tan and Melissa Chan
Chapter Synopsis
The Singapore Bicentennial, which marks the 200th anniversary of the arrival of Stamford Raffles and William Farquhar in Singapore, is an opportunity to tell afresh the story of the relationship between Singapore and the United Kingdom. 200 Years of Singapore and The United Kingdom captures major historical developments before the arrival of the British, as well as during the last 200 years.
CLC contributed an essay on the foundation of Singapore’s Public Housing and Town Planning left by the British, which led to ethnic clusters and housing towns that continue to permeate the present day.
