This book attempts to bring an original contribution on the analysis of creating living cities. It advances the concept and framework of a living city and also explicates the key attributes of a living city that are increasingly critical to the reinvigoration and sustainable growth of cities. The book also seeks to document and compare Singapore's development as a living city' with other Asian and world cities. Contributed by researchers and practitioners across different disciplines, the book provides first-hand insights on the development choices that cities can make and expertly draws on case studies to illuminate how innovative cities have a comparative advantage. Written in a simple and accessible manner, this book will appeal to people interested in urban planning, policy and sustainability.
