  • The Development of Singapore Law: a Bicentennial Retrospective1
    (2020) 32 SAcLJ 804 (Published on e-First 8 May 2020) THE DEVELOPMENT OF SINGAPORE LAW: A BICENTENNIAL RETROSPECTIVE1 The present article reviews (in broad brushstrokes) the status of Singapore law during its bicentennial year. It is not only about origins but also about growth – in particular, the autochthonous or indigenous growth of the Singapore legal system (particularly since the independence of Singapore as a nation state on 9 August 1965). The analysis of this growth is divided into quantitative as well as qualitative parts. In particular, the former constitutes an empirical analysis which attempts – for the very first time − to tell the development of Singapore law through numbers, building on emerging techniques in data visualisation and empirical legal studies. Andrew PHANG Judge of Appeal, Supreme Court of Singapore. GOH Yihan Professor of Law, School of Law, Singapore Management University. Jerrold SOH Assistant Professor of Law, School of Law, Singapore Management University; Co-Founder, Lex Quanta. I. Introduction 1 The present article, which reviews (in broad brushstrokes) the status of Singapore law during its bicentennial year since the founding of Singapore by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819, is of particular significance as English law constitutes the foundation of Singapore law. The role of Raffles and his successors, therefore, could not have been more directly 1 All views expressed in the present article are personal views only and do not reflect in any way the views of the Supreme Court of Singapore, the Singapore Management University or Lex Quanta. Although this article ought, ideally, to have been published last year, the immense amount of case law that had to be analysed has led to a slight delay.

  • Understanding User Needs
    DESIGN & BEST PRACTICES 76 Adding Value to Parks Through Understanding User Needs Adding Value to Parks Through Understanding User Needs Text by Victor Tan Images as credited For city dwellers who live in countries endowed with scenic countrysides and landscapes, some travelling would get them away from the urban surroundings. In Singapore, visiting parks is perhaps the most practical way of staying close to nature. The presence of parks contributes to the quality of life in different ways. Besides the environmental and ecological benefits, parks bring notable social and psychological benefits to city dwellers, and are increasingly recognised as an important component of a liveable urban environment. While such benefits can be generalised, a park is seldom the same to two different park users. In fact, a park is almost never designed to cater to a single group of users, but rather, planned to cater to a diverse group of park users within its population catchment. Sometimes, park design is also influenced by its inherent environ- mental, social or heritage features. However, it is rare for post-design and post-construc- tion studies to be conducted to evaluate if the original design intents of parks have been met through park usage and user perception studies, largely because landscape architects are seldom ABOvE Tree-top Walk in Central Catchment Nature Reserve (Photo: National Parks Board, Singapore). involved in the post-construction management opposite, top LEFT & RIGHT West Coast Park (Photos: National Parks Board, Singapore). of parks. opposite, Bottom Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden in Singapore Botanic Gardens (Photo: National Parks Board, Singapore).

  • The Singapore Urban Systems Studies Booklet Seriesdraws On
    Biodiversity: Nature Conservation in the Greening of Singapore - In a small city-state where land is considered a scarce resource, the tension between urban development and biodiversity conservation, which often involves protecting areas of forest from being cleared for development, has always been present. In the years immediately after independence, the Singapore government was more focused on bread-and-butter issues. Biodiversity conservation was generally not high on its list of priorities. More recently, however, the issue of biodiversity conservation has become more prominent in Singapore, both for the government and its citizens. This has predominantly been influenced by regional and international events and trends which have increasingly emphasised the need for countries to show that they are being responsible global citizens in the area of environmental protection. This study documents the evolution of Singapore’s biodiversity conservation efforts and the on-going paradigm shifts in biodiversity conservation as Singapore moves from a Garden City to a City in a Garden. The Singapore Urban Systems Studies Booklet Series draws on original Urban Systems Studies research by the Centre for Liveable Cities, Singapore (CLC) into Singapore’s development over the last half-century. The series is organised around domains such as water, transport, housing, planning, industry and the environment. Developed in close collaboration with relevant government agencies and drawing on exclusive interviews with pioneer leaders, these practitioner-centric booklets present a succinct overview and key principles of Singapore’s development model. Important events, policies, institutions, and laws are also summarised in concise annexes. The booklets are used as course material in CLC’s Leaders in Urban Governance Programme.
