Synopsis
As part of CLC’s MOU with National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), CLC contributed a case study of Singapore’s urban governance and planning approach for an ageing population over the past 50 years as NDRC was analysing the urban challenge of a rapidly ageing population in China. CLC’s case study documents Singapore’s approaches, policies and programmes, particularly in areas such as senior-friendly housing and building an age-friendly city.
