Singapore has been recognized as a successful and well-managed global city in numerous international rankings of cities. In particular, it is often used to illustrate the importance of good leadershjp and planning in urban development. This course will help students understand how Singapore approaches its urban challenges, such as housing, transport, environmental degradation, job creation and the management of diversity. Through the careful examination of these empirical, Singapore-specific issues including visits to relevant agencies and organizations, broader questions that will have direct relevance to the development processes of other cities will be raised.
