Project Title: License to Travel: Singapore as an Urban Model and exploring geographies of intra-Asian travel [RI 7/24 DKD]
Project Introduction: This research aims to examine, over the years, how Singapore urban (govt) agencies and private urban developers and solution providers have been able to create a smart, sustainable and green urban model for other cities (in Asia and elsewhere) to emulate. Theoretically, We want to explore the idea(s) of urban policy mobility and fast-policy transfer between cities in Asia (specifically looking at intra-Asian travel) and Singapore's popularity as a sustainable and resilient (urban) model for other cities to learn - in an increasingly precarious environment of climate change and (un)sustainable practices. Secondly, this project will explore how Singapore also learns from these policy travels, local challenges, and interactions and keep updating the Singapore model to remain relevant and contemporary.

- Proficiency in academic writing skills in English language
