“A Walk in the Park: Singapore’s Green Corridor in Light of Manhattan’s High Line” David Strand Visiting Research Fellow, ARI NUS and Professor of Political Science, Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania If High Line is more engineered and staged than its pastoral and preserved industrial ruin image might suggest -- more Rudolph Giuliani and Walt Disney than Jane Jacobs on stilts -- Singapore has long been more forthright in stressing social engineering, commercial interests, and the policing of public space in the service of quality of urban life. The Green Corridor’s island-spanning length and country lane ambience contrast with the more typical Singaporean high-rise and congested urban setting. The Green Corridor as an idiosyncratic space of flows and place stimulates thinking about Singapore and, like High Line, 21 st century urbanism in its entirety.
