  • Chapter 1: Introduction and Background
    A GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS OF AIR HUBS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA HAN SONGGUANG (B. Soc. Sci. (Hons.)), NUS A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2007 A Geographical Analysis of Air Hubs in Southeast Asia ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It seemed like not long ago when I started out on my undergraduate degree at the National University of Singapore and here I am at the conclusion of my formal education. The decision to pursue this Masters degree was not a straightforward and simple one. Many sacrifices had to be made as a result but I am glad to have truly enjoyed and benefited from this fulfilling journey. This thesis, in many ways, is the culmination of my academic journey, one fraught with challenges but also laden with rewards. It also marks the start of a new chapter of my life where I leave the comfortable and sheltered confines of the university into the “outside world” and my future pursuit of a career in education. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the following people, without whom this thesis would not have been possible: I am foremost indebted to Associate Professor K. Raguraman who first inspired me in the wonderful field of transport geography from the undergraduate modules I did under him. His endearing self, intellectual guidance, critical comments and helpful suggestions have been central to the completion of this thesis. A special word of thanks to you Ragu, my supervisor, mentor, inspiration and friend. All faculty members at the Department of Geography, NUS who have taught me (hopefully well enough!) during my undergraduate and postgraduate days in the university and enabled me to see the magic behind the discipline that is Geography.

  • Singapore Takes Flight: a Hundred Years

    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.

  • Chapter 195 100 Years of Foreshore Reclamation In
    CHAPTER 195 100 YEARS OF FORESHORE RECLAMATION IN SINGAPORE S K PUI*, MICE, MASCE ABSTRACT Singapore is an island republic with about 10% of her land area reclaimed from foreshore during the last century. In this Paper, past reclamation works are reviewed and possible future reclamation works are predicted. 1 INTRODUCTION Due to its strategic location, Singapore has since its founding in 1819, been centre for trade and commerce, trans- portation and other activities in the region. The result was a rapid growth in population, from about 200 in 1819 to 2.5 million todate, in a country with land area of only 636 km2, inclusive of its 57 offshore islands and 53 km2 of land reclaimed from foreshore (Information Division, 1986). The resulting high population density has created a constant need to reclaim land from the foreshore for various development projects along the coastline, especially those related to airports, seaports, maritime and petroleum indus- tries, housing, commerce and recreational parks. The calm wave environment and rather low tidal range (about 3 m) prevail along the coastline of Singapore, has enable the reclamation works to be executed economically. 2 EARLIER RECLAMATION WORKS Earlier foreshore reclamation works were mainly confined at the southern tip of the main island of Singapore, from Kallang Basin at the east to Tanjong Berlayer at the west. Total land area reclaimed before self-rule in 1959 was about 3 km2. The first early major foreshore reclamation works was the reclamation at the then Telok Ayer Bay about 100 years ago, for the construction of a link road between the then commer- cial centre at Singapore River and a new deep-water port at Keppel Channel.
