Landscape Planning in Singapore

Landscape architecture plays a vital role in creating Singapores Garden City image. This book helps to explain the Republics successful implementation of environmental policies since independence to achieve its present-day image. There are ten chapters in the book. The first three cover background information, the historical setting, and the work of the current government. The approach is to evaluate different plans against natural, social, and sensory criteria. The next six chapters are case studies, selected to show landscape planning policies in more detail. The last chapter includes a discussion of comments made about Singapores landscapes followed by a summary. The book is illustrated by a profusion of maps, diagrams and plans.
