Heritage

Heritage

Singapore’s evolving memory, identity, and preservation

If you’re curious about how a nation decides what to remember, this is a thoughtful and rewarding read. It brings together many voices, from planners to historians, so heritage feels alive rather than academic. You come away seeing Singapore not just as a modern city, but as a place constantly negotiating its past and future.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Heritage means different things to different people. This book provides a guide to Singapore heritage and its preservation and promotion since 1959, when Singapore first attained full self-government and thereafter for the first 50 years of Independence. It conveys the thoughts of policy-makers, conservationists, architects, city planners, museum curators, historians, academics and community advocates – a diversity that attests to the wide range of ways in which heritage has an impact on the lives of Singaporeans. As heritage has no end point, the book concludes with a reflection on the future of heritage – whence it came, where it goes.
