Synopsis
The Lee Kuan Yew and the Physical Transformation of Singapore Conference will share with Singaporeans and others, Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s role in the spatial development issues of Singapore. These issues include city planning, housing, greening, and our water strategy. Pioneers, leaders and decision makers who have contributed to building Singapore’s innovations in these areas will be sharing their experience as speakers, respondents and moderators. The Conference will end with a session on the future transformational challenges of Singapore.
It will give everyone a deeper appreciation of Mr Lee’s contributions, and also the decisions and considerations that have made Singapore successful in these urban areas. It will be a fitting celebration of Mr Lee on the occasion of his 90th birthday.
