    Planning for a Secure City Undergirding the perceptible dimensions of a liveable city—a bustling economy, dazzling skyline, state-of-the-art public infrastructure and amenities—is its ability to provide its inhabitants and visitors alike the confidence that their personal STUDIES URBAN SYSTEMS safety is ensured and safeguarded. 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. There’s no use having good surroundings but you are afraid all the time… Today a woman can run at three o’clock in the morning… [go] jogging… She will not be raped.

  • Must Visit Attractions in Singapore"
    "Must Visit Attractions in Singapore" Created by: Cityseeker 16 Locations Bookmarked Merlion Park "Singapore's National Emblem" Standing guard at the mouth of the Singapore River is the Merlion, a mythical beast that is a cross between a fish and a lion. The fish symbolizes Singapore's close association with the sea while the lion head refers to the legendary sighting of a lion during the discovery of ancient Singapore. Created in 1972 as a tourism icon, the Merlion is especially by Graham-H attractive in the evenings when it is illuminated and spouts water from its mouth. Today, it has moved 120 meters (393 feet) away from its original spot, adjacent to One Fullerton. A stroll through Merlion Park yields great views of Singapore's colonial district. +65 6736 6622 1 Fullerton Road, Singapore Marina Bay Sands Skypark "Experience Singapore from New Heights" A true marvel of engineering designed by the famous architect Moshe Safdie, the Marina Bay Sands Skypark is an open-air viewing deck perched 200 meters (656.168 feet) atop the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. This deck, shaped like a ship, almost seems to go against the law of gravity as it stretches on the 57th story above the hotel tower. The panoramic views by Sarah_Ackerman from of Singapore are staggering, and on a clear day, far-off islands belonging New York, USA. to Malaysia and Indonesia can be seen. The Skypark is the size of three football fields and also contains lush tropical gardens, souvenir stands and gourmet restaurants. Its main attraction is a spectacular infinity pool that seems as if it meets thin air at one of its longer edges.

    Bukit Pasoh Telok Ayer Kreta Ayer CHINATOWN A Walking Guide Travel through 14 amazing stops to experience the best of Chinatown in 6 hours. A quick introduction to the neighbourhoods Kreta Ayer Kreta Ayer means “water cart” in Malay. It refers to ox-drawn carts that brought water to the district in the 19th and 20th centuries. The water was drawn from wells at Ann Siang Hill. Back in those days, this area was known for its clusters of teahouses and opera theatres, and the infamous brothels, gambling houses and opium dens that lined the streets. Much of its sordid history has been cleaned up. However, remnants of its vibrant past are still present – especially during festive periods like the Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn celebrations. Telok Ayer Meaning “bay water” in Malay, Telok Ayer was at the shoreline where early immigrants disembarked from their long voyages. Designated a Chinese district by Stamford Raffles in 1822, this is the oldest neighbourhood in Chinatown. Covering Ann Siang and Club Street, this richly diverse area is packed with trendy bars and hipster cafés housed in beautifully conserved shophouses. Bukit Pasoh Located on a hill, Bukit Pasoh is lined with award-winning restaurants, boutique hotels, and conserved art deco shophouses. Once upon a time, earthen pots were produced here. Hence, its name – pasoh, which means pot in Malay. The most vibrant street in this area is Keong Saik Road – a former red-light district where gangs and vice once thrived. Today, it’s a hip enclave for stylish hotels, cool bars and great food.
