Abstract | Designed by Sabrina Kleinenhammans. A SIGUS-MIT collaboration with EBA of Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, and the Department of Architecture of the National University of Singapore. This report summarizes a 2-week summer workshop which explored contrasting approaches in planning for urban growth. Singapore with its policy goal of doubling its population offers a unique opportunity to understand how a highly managed city would tackle the rapid growth challenge. Bangkok offers the opposite approach, a seemingly less planned, less controlled situation, but nevertheless a very much alive and more exciting city. A print version ($30.70 USD) or a free pdf is available here. |
