These benefits were brought to light for its reliability, safety, punctuality and environmentally sustainability compared to other transport alternatives. Given this myriad of advantages, there is a question why there are only small numbers of border crossing HSR exists in Europe and Southeast Asia though both areas place great emphasis on further integration of the region.

    Integrating the Planning of Airports and the City: The Singapore Story 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 STUDIES URBAN SYSTEMS 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, Story The Singapore the Planning of Airports and City: Integrating industrial planning, defence, residential and social spaces. Integrating the In this Urban Systems Study, readers will learn about the comprehensive planning that went into the development of Planning of Changi Airport, and the integrated manner in which it was carried out. It additionally explores Singapore’s experience in Airports and 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 the City: on airport developments to catalyse urban and economic development. The Singapore Story “ Changi Airport is our major investment to exploit our geographic location. Singapore must be prepared and ready to seize every opportunity that comes its way. Whether we have been extravagant in investing in an airport of this size and level of sophistication is a question worthy of a rhetorical rejoinder.
