A Chance of a Lifetime: Lee Kuan Yew and the Physical Transformation of Singapore examines how Singapore was transformed over several decades through planning, housing, greening, water management and long-term urban policy.
Based on a conference held for Lee Kuan Yew’s 90th birthday, the book brings together first-hand accounts from senior officials and specialists who worked on major aspects of Singapore’s development. It also includes commentary on future challenges, a 2012 interview with Lee on urban development, timelines and archival images, making it a valuable reference on the making of modern Singapore.
