Title
Strategies for Liveable and Sustainable Cities: The Singapore Experience
Authors
Centre for Liveable Cities (Michael Koh and Alison Lee)
Synopsis
Singapore has seen a dramatic transformation since the 1960s, from a country facing many urban challenges to a well-regarded liveable and sustainable city today. As a city-state with limited space, Singapore has had to plan long-term and implement effectively. This chapter thus covers eight strategies that Singapore has utilised in its urban development over the years, facilitated by three key planning enablers – technology, infrastructure resilience, and community partnerships.
