- As the master planner of Singapore, Dr Liu Thai Ker is a visionary, and is widely recognized as 'The Architect of Modern Singapore'. How might cities be planned to cater for population growth, and allow generations of families to grow up and grow old in? How might a city serve the population by anticipating and meeting its changing needs? Can we learn from family structures when planning a resilient urban city?
Dr Liu is the founding chairman of MORROW and on the advisory board of the Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC). He is undoubtedly a significant contributor to the Singapore that is recognized globally today. TEDxSingapore's passion is to inspire people to learn, engage in close conversations and share ideas from Singapore with the world. www.tedxsingapore.sg As the former master planner of the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore, Dr Liu Thai Ker is a visionary, and is widely recognised as 'The Architect of Modern Singapore'.

Wow! A very wise man with a compassionate soul..a rare combination! It's easy to see how he has a great position on earth!
so what? wise men are assholes? are you sure you wisdom?
singaporeans are very fortunate...he was the KEY ARCHITECT PLANNER for the public housing movement in Singapore
The idea of creating a city is amazing.
Creating a sustainable city is a herculean task. The idea is just amazing!
the best thing is.......its already unfolded into reality in SG. I am very thankful
After living in Singapore for a National Science Foundation (NSF) research project at the National University of Singapore (NUS); the city is strictly amazing. I have not yet lived in such a well made, safe, and visually beautiful city. The United States of America (USA) can learn quite a bit from the Singaporean people 🤓
I have little to no idea about creating a city but I feel like agreeing to whatever he said
Thanks for this. Gives me idea for my thesis defense
I have always praised singapore when the chance arise, glad now i can put a name on it
This was such a good talk!
This came out right when I need help with my geography homework 😌
Finally a good Ted talk.
Oh! So interesting 🙏✨
Great man

The man of integrity.
My BOSS.

Yes! Universal housing is the first, most basic, and most necessary step! The US would have its citizens think that's something radical............
Agreed
Isn’t that a shame

I wonder if this guy ever heard of the jacque fresco, venus project City ideas.
Singapore and Hong Kong are often compared to each other. Both are land scarce, highly dense, former British colonies. Both also grew into international trading hubs. In terms of urban management, however, they could not be more different. Pre 1997 Hong Kong has been described as having the purest form of capitalism on the planet. Small government was good. The market set the agenda, resulting in urban embarrassments such as caged housing and the walled city in Kowloon. There is no sign of the government changing tack even under the city's new mainland management.
Singapore took a different route. It did not leave everything to the free market. It used draconian powers to compulsorily acquire land for public purposes. Ad hoc statutory boards like Mr Liu's HDB were set up. The government took a proactive role in public housing, in assembling sites for redevelopment, in urban landscaping, in public transport, even in car ownership. Which is a bit strange considering the importance of private enterprise to the Singapore economy, then and today.
It wasn't all roses of course. Some landowners were shafted when their properties were acquired, often at rates well below market prices. Organic communities living in kampongs and what Mr Liu describes as 'squatter settlements' were broken up and compelled to adopt a very different lifestyle living in high rises. Car ownership is possible, but only if you pay exorbitant prices. But if you subscribe to the Bentham principle of the greatest good for the greatest number, most would concede that modern Singapore has worked. Better than the Hong Kong alternative anyway.
Lots of cities have already been around for a few generations. Parts of European (& worldwide) Cities have already been around for dozens of generations.
I'm amazed how common wooden houses are in the US, given the extreme weather events, molds, termites & combustible nature of wood.
Granite castles just never caught on over there!

In China the gov colludes with property developers to build sub standard buildings for people to live in so that they can tear it down at a later date, rebuild and charge more, and the cycle continues and land prices soar.
First one to comment. Never mind.

Very articulate in his thoughts and concepts. I hope the corrupt Nigerian government will learn from this amazing project and plan the cities in Nigeria. This lawlessness in Nigeria has to stop please.

1. design for quality not design for quantity
2. Design for human not design for digit.
3. design for the house inside not design to look good on the outside.
Sound good but miss the main point.
Focus on quality of life rather than focusing on the surface of life.
Can we build urban cities that last for generations?
Of course can, but do you and your children want to live inside if you have a choice?
A city as a "machine for living" with "functions" - it seems like Dr Liu is strongly influenced by Modernism
They built cities out of concrete which would last for generations. Then someone came in and bombed the heck out of them.
Rtg
Can you feature president duterte of philippines or maybe Bongbong marcos of ilocos .
Land lords should quit their "jobs"
Property hoarding isn't a job
Rent is extortion
Homelessness is violence
No one gets a second house until everyone has one
Says the guy who owns a huge house and estate in Perth, Western Australia lol
I have a proposal: why to think about building cities, when there is a better solution - make homes mobile.
Make addresses virtual, citizenship meaningless, language international.
Bless your little UN Agenda 2030 heart!

"Can we build urban cities that last for generations? "
Sans watching this... are you kidding with this title? Are urban cities that don't last a generation a thing?
NO
Architecture is the Art of destroying Land.
Our cities already last generations and all cities are urban by definition. Wtf is this title.
We already have... Is this guy having a senile moment?
People who praise this Guy Please DON'T stay in Singapore. You don't know what he actually did to Properties in the City State.
