Dr Cheong Koon Hean, CEO of the Housing and Development Board
(2010-2020) was the Institute of Policy Studies' 5th S R Nathan
Fellow for the Study of Singapore. This book contains edited
versions of the three IPS-Nathan Lectures she gave between March
and April 2018, and highlights of her dialogue with the
audience.Climate change, an ageing population, anti-globalisation
sentiments the world over, technological disruption, and social
media all pose unique problems and opportunities to cities. Dr
Cheong examines how cities deal with their urban challenges to
create a better life for their citizens. In particular, what are
the considerations needed to plan and develop Singapore in the face
of rapid change and uncertainty, given our constraints as a small
city-state with an open economy?The IPS-Nathan Lectures series was
launched in 2014 as part of the S R Nathan Fellowship for the Study
of Singapore. The S R Nathan Fellow delivers a series of lectures
during their term to advance public understanding and discussion of
issues of critical national interest.
