As Singapore is constantly reinventing itself, this book is a
timely publication. After all, anything on contemporary Singapore
that doesn't include the Marina Bay Sands' iconic towers, Gardens
by the Bay and the new Business District extension is hopelessly
out of date. Yet, this book is much more than a round-up of
Singapore's new urban cityscapes. Rather, it traces the development
of the city-state, showing how so much of the old has been retained
and celebrated alongside the new. In addition to an assessment of
the downtown core, chapters include an analysis of Singapore's eco
credentials as it strives to become a truly green City within a
Garden; how its varied population contributes to its success (and
how the various peoples came to its shores); a sober reflection on
World War II and Occupation, and reminders thereof; a showcase of
all things stylishly Singaporean; and finally, a short look back in
time with a selection of evocative black-and-white photographs to
Singapore's early days as a colonial city.Beautifully photographed
by Danish photographer, Jacob Termansen, with insightful texts by
Kim Inglis, this is a must-have for anybody interested in the
history and culture of Singapore.
