Urban design shapes Singapore's urban fabric, developing distinctive and liveable areas–flat plots of land are developed into vibrant young towns, and mature estates are rejuvenated to add new vigour, industrial and innovation districts are reimagined with people-friendly accessible areas, while rivers are transformed from pollutive industrial areas into convivial live, work and play precincts.
As a contextual disciple, urban design evolves from and relies on close partnerships between the public, private and people sectors. Commissioned by the Centre for Liveable Cities Singapore, Shaping Singapore Through Urban Design highlights Singapore's unique approach to urban design and its role in developing the cosmopolitan island nation that we see today through case studies on Bedok Town Centre, one-north and the Singapore River.
The publication's design aims to provide readers with a compelling and keenly personal ‘Singaporean’ story through an informative experience that visually represents the dynamic transformation of urban spaces within the nation. This is reflected through the use of vibrant colours, dynamic layouts, and incorporating specific visual elements such as maps, photographs, or illustrations that highlight the key features of each case study.
