Omschrijving

This open access book highlights Singapore’s development into a city in which water and greenery, along with associated environmental, technical, social and political aspects have been harnessed and cultivated into a liveable sustainable way of life.

Professor Peter G. Rowe is a Distinguished Service Professor from Harvard University, and was formerly the Dean of Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, the Chairman of the Urban Planning and Design Department, and the Director of the Urban Design Programs. Professor Rowe’s research and consulting experience are extensive, diverse and international in scope. He has served as a principal investigator on projects sponsored by a wide range of U.S. government agencies, and has served as an advisor to a number of cities on matters of urban design and planning including Beijing, Guiyang, Guangzhou, Kunming, Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuhan and Wenzhou in China; Incheon in South Korea and Barcelona in Spain. He was also a board member of several prominent cultural and academic institutions, like the Center for Canadian Architecture and the Cities Programme of the London School of Economics, as well as on the board of several companies involved in low-cost housing provision and the use of environmentally sustainable technologies. He is currently a high-level international expert to the Chinese government based at Tsing Hua University. His experience covers cultural interpretation and design, as well as the urban form discourse, issues of economic development, historic conservation, housing provision and resource sustainability.
