Yet, at times, balancing security and urban design needs presents unique, though not insurmountable, challenges. This Urban Systems Study charts the critical role that security planning and urban design have together played in Singapore’s transformation from being the crime-ridden city that it was some 50 years ago to one of the safest places in the world today. It discusses the country’s use of innovative ideas and technology, its pragmatic approach to security enforcement and urban planning, and its willingness to challenge traditional Planning for A Secure City norms of security provision where necessary. It also examines how neither liveability nor security was compromised in Planning for Singapore’s plans to better prepare itself for emerging security and societal threats. a Secure City This book additionally highlights how the co-opting or active involvement of the public in various security-related initiatives, and the resulting trust built between the government and people, have complemented and enhanced the efforts of Singapore’s security and planning agencies in creating a secure city. “ A good city, first you must feel safe in it.

In the past year, we have seen our programmes reach out to 9,900 children in Singapore and about 3,200 children through direct funding of programmes in the region through a committed group of VWO partners who run the programmes. Other overseas programmes supported by MILK in previous years continued to benefit more than 18,000 people. Over the 6 years since MILK was incorporated, our work has evolved to ensure that we remain relevant and responsive to the needs in our community. This year, our MILK Education Fund, which includes both scholarships as well as bursaries, saw a rise in the number of beneficiaries. Over the last 3 years, we have continued to respond to the needs presented to us as well as assessing the many educational schemes available for tertiary education to ensure that duplication is minimal. In the hope that our MILK Scholarships will serve as an inspirational tool for future cohorts of low income students, we have further extended our financial assistance to include siblings of children with special needs.
