This book offers theoretical and practical insights into land use, transport, and national policies in one of worlds well-known urban concrete jungle, none other than the Singapore city. The emphasis is situated on Singapores attempt to promote walking and cycling. Greater appreciation of walkability thrives on Singapores rich history, green city, people and the gastronomic kopitiam and hawker culture. The book offers a comprehensive coverage of walkability as a crucial component of urban design to reduce vehicular congestion with the associated carbon emissions, foster a healthy lifestyle and community participation and create jobs to help the economy. A high income per capita and an aging society, lessons drawn from Singapores experience will be useful to other societies. Scholars in sustainable tourism field, urban planners, government bodies, tourist boards, entrepreneurs, national parks board, residents, and inbound travellers will benefit from reading the book.
