Singapore and India: Partnering for Liveable and Sustainable Cities

Singapore and India share a common colonial past that has influenced how their cities have been shaped and planned. This was highlighted by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he inked a Strategic Partnership committing the two countries to cooperate in a number of areas, including urban planning and development. This book showcases various urban governance and planning projects discussed during a programme jointly organised by CLC and India’s Town & Country Planning, including the conceptualisation of India’s new capital city of Andhra Pradesh, Amaravati, and how urban challenges were systematically addressed in 11 Indian cities and 4 schemes.

Urban Solutions Issue #12:Inclusive Urban Regeneration

It Takes a Village to Plan a City

Flexible Planning for Inclusive Neighbourhoods

Co-creating with residents is key to fostering a stronger sense of ownership in neighbourhoods and building stronger communities. With the government as facilitator, residents can have more room to make decisions and come together over common issues. This approach brings about solutions that are customised to local needs, and creates more intangible social outcomes.

Urban renewal projects should be socially inclusive to deal with the increasingly complex needs of diverse communities, argue Professor Susan Fainstein, Professor Norman Fainstein and Gurubaran Subramaniam. The trio share examples of how cities have used inclusive planning and design approaches to transform physical spaces and strengthen communities.
