HDB towns too will be affected by the many trends that disrupt cities. How do we think differently about the new generation of HDB towns and renew existing ones, to address these trends? What are the useful ideas and technologies that can be harnessed to shape heartland living for the better? 00:00 mins - Speaker: Dr Cheong Koon Hean, 5th IPS Nathan Fellow 1:16:355 mins - Q&A chaired by Prof Lily Kong, Provest, Singapore Management University Date: 23 April 2018 Time 6.15 pm to 7.45 pm Venue: Auditorium, Shaw Foundation Alumni House, The National University of Singapore.
