Socio-technical Transition of Singapore Public Housing Building Technology Innovation, 1960 – 1995

This paper reports on the research conducted on building technology innovation during Singapore’s early decades of public housing development, 1960 – 1995. Taking an historical perspective and insights from Science and Technology Studies, it investigates the growth of innovation change in Singapore public housing and how this responded to social needs using a combination of data sources including archival materials and personal interviews. This working paper is authored by Jane M. Jacobs, Professor of Urban Studies, Yale-NUS College & Visiting Fellow, Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities, SUTD and Belinda Yuen, Professorial Fellow and Research Director, Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities, SUTD.

To promote empirical research on cities and urban issues, LKYCIC has launched the LKYCIC Research Paper Series, featuring publications by our Centre’s researchers. Through this series, we hope to reach out to a wider audience, share the exciting research that we do at the Centre and encourage increased publication and rapid circulation of our work.

Revitalising Reused Railway: Remaking disused rail infrastructure into people places

Although interest in placekeeping and adaptive reuse of disused railway heritage to revitalize urban economy and local community is growing, few have examined the multi-stakeholders involved in the redevelopment, their collaboration and partnership strategies and enabling factors. To address this gap, this study based on literature review examined four major repurposed railway infrastructure: Djerring Trail (Melbourne, Australia), Promenade Plantée (Paris, France), Gyeongui Line Forest Park (Seoul, South Korea) and High Line (New York, USA). The study highlights four key aspects of collaborative placekeeping: integration of diverse programmes and activities, use of various approaches in multi-stakeholder collaboration, importance of balancing diverse interests and needs evaluation in placekeeping initiatives.

Politics of Housing: Prospects for right to the city in Jakarta

Using the case study of Jakarta, this exploratory paper seeks to understand the extent to which changing state-society relations help the marginalised claim their right to the city. It argues that everyday level state-society interactions between citizens, NGOs, and state actors, informed by differential notions of the housing issue, are crucial to increasing the welfare of these urban residents and their access to the city. However, there are limitations and implications as societal and state actors cope with the challenges of rapid urbanisation. This research paper is authored by Irna Nurlina Masron, Research Associate, Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities, SUTD.
