Description	As a former British colony, Singapore had flourished as a trading port-of-call due to its strategic location along the shipping route between Asia and Europe. However, neither its past colonial links nor geography could guarantee its continued success in the oncoming jet age. For the newly independent government formed in 1965, there were several fundamental national priorities, such as housing, job creation, education and infrastructure. However, a strategic decision was taken to build a new commercial international airport at Changi—a hefty mega-infrastructure that carried both substantial costs and risks for a land-strapped island which already had four airports. Such a decision bore far-reaching consequences in terms of land use, transport, industrial planning, defence, residential and social spaces. In this study, readers will learn about the comprehensive planning that went into the development of Changi Airport, and the integrated manner in which it was carried out. It additionally explores Singapore’s experience in navigating the unique urban-planning constraints and trade-offs brought about by both civilian and military airports, and examines the systematic approach taken to capitalise on airport developments to catalyse urban and economic development.

Description	Living with Water: Lessons from Singapore and Rotterdam documents the journey of two unique cities, Singapore and Rotterdam -- one with too little water, and the other with too much water -- in adapting to future climate change impacts. While the social, cultural, and physical nature of these cities could not be more different, Living with Water: Lessons from Singapore and Rotterdam captures key principles, insights and innovative solutions that threads through their respective adaptation strategies as they build for an uncertain future of sea level rise and intense rainfall.
