Building Resilient Neighbourhoods in Singapore: The Convergence of Policies, Research and Practice

Description

(Advances in 21st Century Human Settlements) 1st ed. 2020 Edition 

by Chan-Hoong Leong (Editor), Lai-Choo Malone-Lee (Editor) 

This book examines how institutional and environmental features in neighbourhoods can contribute to social resilience, highlighting the related socio-demographic issues, as well as the infrastructure, planning, design and policies issues. It is divided into three themes – infrastructure, planning, and community. Infrastructure examines how physical features such as parks and street patterns influence neighborliness and resilience, while planning studies how urban design enhances social interactions. Lastly, community discusses policies that can forge social bonds, either through racial integration, grassroots activities, or social service. Overall, the book combines research and empirical work with scholarly models of resilience and governance philosophy, focusing on Singapore’s urban planning and social policies.
