  • World Cities Summit 2016
    BETTER CITIES Your monthly update from the Centre for Liveable Cities Issue 67 July 2016 World Cities Summit 2016 The World Cities Summit 2016, co-organised by the Centre for Liveable Cities and the Urban Redevelopment Authority, attracted about 110 mayors and city leaders representing 103 cities from 63 countries and regions around the world to engage on issues of urban sustainability. Held from 10-14 July, the fifth edition of the World Cities Summit, together with Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) and CleanEnviro Summit Singapore (CESS), was attended by more than 21,000 visitors and participants including ministers, government officials, industry leaders and experts, academics, as well as representatives from international organisations. Themed ‘Liveable and Sustainable Cities: Innovative Cities of Opportunity’, this year’s Summit expanded its focus on how cities can leverage innovations to build smart cities. A key highlight of the expo was the ‘Towards a Smart and Sustainable Singapore’ pavilion, which showcased innovations from more than 16 Singapore government agencies designed to help serve citizens better. WCS 2016 also explored the strategy of co-creation and how cities can better engage their citizens to build more resilient cities beyond infrastructure alone. For the first time at WCS, the impact of softer aspects of a city like culture and heritage on urban planning and design was discussed at a dedicated track. The next World Cities Summit will be held from 8-12 July 2018 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore. Click here for the WCS 2016 press release. Enabling Technologies: A Prototype for Urban Planning By Zhou Yimin CLC is working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on an interactive urban planning tool that creates realistic simulations of planning decisions and allows planners to understand the implications for their city.

Audible pasts: History, sound and human experience in Southeast Asia. KEMANUSIAAN the Asian Journal of Humanities 25(Supp. 1): 1–19, https://doi.org/10.21315/kajh2018.25.s1.1 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/kajh2018.25.s1.1 Abstract. Although historians of traditional Southeast Asian cultures rely primarily on written sources, the societies they study were intensely oral and aural. Research on sound in Southeast Asia has focused on music and musicology, but historians are now considering the wide variety of noises to which people were exposed, and how the interpretations and understanding of these sounds shaped human experience. This article uses an 1899 court case in Singapore concerning a noisy neighbour as a departure point to consider some of the ways in which “noise” was heard in traditional Southeast Asian societies. Focusing on Singapore, it shows that European attitudes influenced the attitudes of the colonial administration towards loud noise, especially in the streets. By the late 19th century, the view that sleep was necessary for good health, and that noise interfered with sleep, was well established. The changing soundscape of Singapore in the early 20th century led to increasing middle class demands for government action to limit urban noise, although these were largely ineffective.

    6th International Conference on Electronics, Mechanics, Culture and Medicine (EMCM 2015) The Singapore English Press in The 1970s Lingyi Huang College of Foreign Languages and Cultures Xiamen University Xiamen, China [email protected] Keywords: English Press; Singapore; Media; newspaper; 1970s Abstract. The English Press in Singapore has unique features in a country that functions under Authoritarian System. In the 1970s, the whole press (both English and Chinese) faced challenges and pressure from the control of the government. Tightening measures and laws were implemented, therefore the English press had to readjust the orientation and tried to cater to the need of nation- building and fostering of the spirit of being Singaporeans. The period in the 1970s was the time that both sides had the fiercest conflicts and the key stage the government began to lay down the complete and effective supervision system. A careful and thorough analysis into the English press at that time helps to reveal a more profound picture of that special phrase and paves the way to a deeper understanding between power and media. Introduction In a multicultural and multi-lingual society, Singapore English press has its unique features in the development in a post-colonial age. In 1965, Singapore gain independence and founded the republic, proclaiming the opening of a new age, with the People‟s Action Party dominating the government. The new government faced challenges not only in national economy after a long colonial age, but a defiant press circle that pursued the “Fourth Estate” concept which is popular in western press. How to effectively control the press, especially the English press and how English press reacted to a series of tightening measure from the government? The English press had presumed what kind of role after several rounds of fight and concession? These are all the important questions I would like to find out in the following analysis.
