Transport Overcoming Constraints Sustaining Mobility
Author: Centre for Liveable Cities, Ministry of National Development, Singapore, Land Transport Authority, Ministry of Transport

DESCRIPTION — Transport: Overcoming Constraints, Sustaining Mobility - Singapore s transport policies have moved in tandem with the city s development. At one level, this can be seen as a linear progression in transport infrastructure from mosquito buses and pirate taxis, to a modern bus and train system. Seen in this light, the main policy chall... more »enge is the integrated planning and development of effective transport hardware and systems. At another level, transport is about meeting the mobility needs and social aspiration of individuals, as well as addressing negative externalities such as congestion and pollution. These needs are often at odds, and integration on this level means meeting competing needs for land roads in Singapore have to compete with housing, industry and living spaces for Singapore. This study presents the dynamics, processes and institutional framework involved in resolving these issues. It presents a historical account of transport policy changes in Singapore, while highlighting how the twin policy dilemmas - between public and private transport, as well as between roads and other uses of land - have resulted in policy challenges and innovations over the years.

The Singapore Urban Systems Studies Booklet Series draws on original Urban Systems Studies research by the Centre for Liveable Cities, Singapore (CLC) into Singapore s development over the last half-century. The series is organised around domains such as water,transport, housing, planning, industry and the environment. Developed in close colla oration with relevant government agencies and drawing on exclusive interviews with pioneer leaders, these practitioner-centric booklets present a succinct overview and key principles of Singapore s development model.
