• Urban Development in Singapore, 2008.A study of
  urban planning and development in
  Singapore.AbstractThis paper examines
  Singapore as unique among the cities of the world
  because of its efficient urban planning given its
  limited land mass and a high population density.
  The paper starts by discussing the integrated
  urban development of Singapore. It first
  describes how the State and City Planning (SCP)
  Project that started way back in the 1970s
  evolved into the Concept Plan of 1971 and the
  Master Plan for Singapore. The paper then
  addresses various challenges to modernity and the
  broad parameters of the Urban Redevelopment
  Authority (URA) Concept Plan of 1991. It also
  addresses urban transportation and uses diagrams
  to illustrate Singapore's planning strategies.
  Finally, the paper concludes that the city state
  is regarded as a model of urban governance in
  terms of land use planning, which is taken
  seriously and implemented with relatively
  increased intensity of conformity.Table of
