DESCRIPTION
The book is intended to be a landmark publication to showcase Singapore academics’ and practising planners’ work and thinking in the globalisation age.

The book analyses and provides an insight to Singapore’s planning system and practices associated with sustainable development. It contributes and produces an impact on urban planning literature in a renewed perspective about Singapore that reflects the reality and need to address sustainability in the triangular relationship of economic, environmental and social developments.
