Auteur :

Description :
In the 1990s, a series of upgrading exercises in many Housing and Development Board estates have signalled a change in the satatus and function of public housing within Singapore's project to position itself as a global city. These transformations in the built environment are part of a larger process of social transformation not merely in terms of housing policy, but also in terms of issues of governance, class and social mobility, community and value systems.
