Introduction -- Framing the Discourse of Urban Green-provision and Constructions of Nation: Western Policies and Singapore’s Debate -- Design and Planning of Singapore’s Public Open Space, Parks and Gardens in the Early Colonial Times -- The British Colonial Planning Model provides an Integrated System of Public Open Spaces: the 1958 Master Plan -- Parks for the Community: the Modernist City State Planning Model -- Design of Parks and Public Open Space in the Post-Modern: from Creation of Character and Visual Identity to Theme – Gardens -- Heritage Parks. Re-purposing and Thematizing Colonial Gardens: Construction of History and Nation in City Parks -- Singapore’s Green Infrastructure Concept and Biophilic Urbanism -- The ‘Singapore Playground’: System of Themed Public Parks Conceived as Green Infrastructure. Building Environmental, Social and Cultural Sustainability through Nature-Reconstruction, Community Participation and Identity-Making -- Conclusions.

This book traces the evolution of Singapore’s parks system, from colonial to present times. Further, it contextualizes the design and planning of parks in the general discourse on western and eastern traditions: early twentieth century western conceptions ‘imported’ during colonialism; modernism; postmodernism, and the contemporary ecological debate. Park system planning products respond to national policies and result in structural urban elements and a range of park types. Global (western ideology) and local issues have influenced park system planning and the physical design of individual parks over time. However, in Singapore the eastern literature has not addressed the development of parks and urban green spaces in terms of historical perspective. The publication reveals the interrelations between visual representations and changing political ideologies. Singapore’s system of public parks is shown to represent an iconography created by the state. Its set of constructed narratives elucidates on the potential social, cultural and environmental roles of public parks. However, Singapore’s park system presents a novel paradigm for expanding Asian cities, characterized by evolving urban imaging strategies. In framing Singapore’s case study within the broader perspective of eastern applications of western planning and design practices, and constructions of nation in post-colonial countries, the manuscript establishes the contribution of the Singaporean model of design and planning of parks to the international debate.
