How Singapore's solutions to common problems can provide examples
for other societies. Nearly everyone knows that Singapore has one
of the most efficient governments and competitive advanced
economies in the world. But can this unique city-state of some 5.5
million residents also serve as a model for other advanced
economies as well as for the emerging world? Respected East Asia
expert Kent Calder provides clear answers to this intriguing
question in his new, groundbreaking book that looks at how
Singapore's government has harnessed information technology, data,
and a focus on innovative, adaptive governance to become a model
smart city, smart state. Calder describes Singapore as a laboratory
for solutions to problems experienced by urban societies around the
world. In particular, he shows how Singapore has dealt successfully
with education, energy, environmental, housing, and transportation
challenges; many of its solutions can be adapted in a wide range of
other societies. Calder also explains how Singapore offers lessons
for how countries can adapt their economies to the contemporary
demands of global commerce. Singapore consistently ranks at the top
in world surveys measuring competitiveness, ease of doing business,
protection of intellectual property, and absence of corruption. The
book offers concrete insights and a lucid appreciation of how
Singapore's answers to near-universal problems can have a much
broader relevance, even in very different societies.
