What amazing and versatile advice - “I’d say you just have to remember three things: To have a humanist’s heart, a scientist’s head, and an artist’s eyes” - Liu Thai Ker
This is a stepping stone, no more no less, in the short and long term, he challenged the status quo and won. The lessons of history, this is a reflection of his determination and good intentions, his life works will stand the test of time ? The ripple effect will echo and quality of life was the pillar. He is an original human inspiration via his own words and deeds, The city that embodies his inner truths. I admire the resolve of his spirit. Singapore has bragging rights for life. Epic ! True stories are the best. Thank you - Liu Thai Ker. You are a unique human being. I thank you for your insights and sharing your wisdom. I will remember your words.
11:43 "We mustn't turn a city into a theme park." That resonated with me so much, since I've seen my city change SO much in the last 10 years to accomodate more and more tourism, while the people that actually live here have their life disrupted.
Wow So fascinating! I'm Living in the dream world today !!! I'm listening to the Person who have made a Foundation for the living of many next Generation of Singaporean, are chilling on my bed in VietNam ! What a new world we are !
It bugs my mind to think that if one nation could do it, why can the rest learn from it and do it too??!!! I mean, housing for everyone? Sustainable? Accommodates for the future?? This man should be hired to desing every city!!
With the over-politicizing of any and all ideas (new and old), good luck trying to propose this to North Americans lol. They also seem to base their decisions on opinions instead of facts.
In Manila City, Philippines, that's what the current Mayor is doing. He is currently working on a number of high-rise housing projects, some of which are already complete
I love the end and the talk :) but i don’t understand why we should create a city for the « average » person divided per age group : because everyone is different so you may be a young adult and have the same interests as someone who is 80 and/or someone who is 20 but if you live in an area wich is made for the caricatural 20yo you won’t develop those unique interests or ideas , I think it’s very important to be amongst a variety of people of different age groups that’s how innovative people thrive and evolve … what do you think ?? :)
uma pena que no Brasil, cidades pequenas em desenvolvimento, não tem profissional Arquiteto e Urbanista para coordenar o desenvolvimento da mesma. Infelizmente, os autores de planos diretores e zoneamento destes municípios, são os Engenheiros Civis, dos quais com todo respeito, não tem capacidade alguma para projetar uma cidade de maneira arquitetada para as pessoas a curto, médio e longo prazo. O Brasil, é uma vergonha, onde o mesmo, detêm de conselhos próprios para Arquitetos e Engenheiros, porém cuja a corrupção estabelecida nesse país medíocre e ordinário, não se separa de forma arbitrária as definições de execução de trabalhos de cada um perante as normas estabelecidas. Brasil, um país em decadência que JAMAIS será um país que terá um desenvolvimento planejado, enquanto a corja de políticos corruptos não caírem fora do poder.
Very skeptical, just ask the people who live there and they will tell you a different story. For those who are too lazy, it is starting to feel overcrowded so either the design failed or the Government failed to adhere to the design rules.
Yes I am also a person who lived here and right in the denser housing districts in the Central area. While it is densely populated, we are still blessed with public space and lots of greenery. I have also lived in various countries from Australia to HK so I am able to benchmark objectively.
HDB flats have indeed shrunk over the years. And what you see in new estates is a lot of ultra high rises, as compared to older neighbourhoods like Toa Payoh and AMK where flats are not as high (more long horizontally), there's shops on the ground floor of flats and there's more street space. In newer neighborhoods like Sengkang you see the flats are super tall vertically but not long, so they don't have the floor space for mixed uses like having a coffeeshop under your block. I might be biased because I stay in AMK but I feel like the newer neighborhoods have no soul. I also have a friend who stays at Dawson which people keep praising as a next gen of HDB but I really hate. Too many people!

What a visionary .... Singapore is lucky to have him!
i love that he compared building a city to taking a machine apart and starting from the ground up

I had encountered him once ,he is a humble person .

I wish this was possible though!
Hiring him for sound advice may not much of a problem. But the social-political will and all sort of embedded bureaucracies really are.

@@taynibabols778 that sounds great 😃🙏🏼
Love this TED talk with regards to the transformation of Singapore from a squatters hub to a modern metropolis. Thanks for sharing!
Happy and honoured to live in Singapore 💕💕
Agree and witnessed the excellent design of Singapore was lived there for 3 years just can't afford to buy 🤣
BRILLIANT MIND
His singapore accent is so unnoticible.
Amazing knowledge
The Bob Ross of cities, that's pretty epic
Very good
Very clever chap.
Not me thinking about how I'm going to change my City Skylines map now haha
Keren!

I'm the person who lives here, no ... I don't think is overcrowded at all from where I live in Sengkang, previously in Bishan

The overcrowding could be because of d1rty Indian migrants. Singapore govt should ban Indian migration.
And the crime is low because
@@ZennExile yeah but at least he gave a great TEDtalk
Strong social construct
He failed to design for fentanyl streets like what free democratic countries have.
