SINGAPORE – One proposed that housing be concentrated in Singapore’s north and south, while another envisioned that the country’s mass rapid transit network would comprise five “fingers”, each running from a spot on the island’s northern coast to the city centre.
Named “From Mudflats to Metropolis” after a now-prescient speech delivered in the early months of Singapore’s independence by late founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew on Sept 12, 1965, the exhibition highlights key development milestones and ideas that have shaped the look and feel of the country. The exhibition includes three zones – a pocket garden with lush landscaping and swings, a “time tunnel” that charts milestones, and a “tree grove” for visitors to pen their aspirations and volunteer to be part of various initiatives. Children visiting the exhibition can learn about its content by filling in an activity sheet.
“Plan If”, one of 13 plans considered before Singapore’s 1971 Concept Plan was finalised. It proposed for homes to be built mainly in the island’s north and south. PHOTO: URBAN REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
