As Asia rapidly urbanizes, providing water and sanitation services has become problematic. Most developing country governments in the region cannot deliver the required services themselves, and the private sector is reluctant to invest due to the risks and low returns, especially for sanitation. Public–private partnerships in water supply and sanitation have had mixed results, making sustainable sanitation a particularly challenging problem. Fortunately, there are new and innovative ways to solve the problem of sustainable financing for water and sanitation services.
This book brings together a collection of studies that discuss the recent developments in the water and sanitation sector in Asia and, most importantly, identify their spillover effects. This first attempt of its kind aims to give budget-constrained policy makers the incentive to introduce these approaches for the sustainable financing of infrastructure and, in particular, water and sanitation.
LONG-TERM VISIONING FOR INNOVATIONS THROUGH SEEDING START-UP VENTURES AND LOOPING THE SITE
Long-term visioning for a 66-hectare site of Changi Business Park (CBP) provides great opportunities toward rethinking the future of innovative industries integrated with the everyday lives of Singaporeans. The site is situated near the Changi Airport, Expo, and the new campus of the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) located in the eastern part of Singapore. Since the JTC Corporation undertook the development of CBP in 1997, about half of the site came to be occupied by a variety of international knowledge-based firms. The northern part is, however, left underdeveloped. Visioning for the sustainable future of the site—including job creation, economic growth, the integration of academia and start-up companies, and turning the city-state into more walking-friendly environment in the long run—requires careful design and planning processes. This document proposes a planning scenario and urban design outcome for the vacant site to the north of CBP complex with an area of 410,000 m2.
The proposed work was conducted by the students at Seoul National University Graduate School of Environmental Studies. This studio, titled Urban Regeneration Studio, had eight graduate students and was conducted during the Spring Semester of 2015. In addition to typical studio activities, a field trip to Singapore was made between March 18 and 21. Our visit was hosted by the Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities (LKYCIC) at SUTD.
