Abstract

Park system planning products respond to national policies and result in structural urban elements and a range of park types. This publication identifies the key economic, political and social drivers behind park systems planning changes and illustrates how each phase of development influences the next. Global (western ideology) and local issues have influenced park system planning and the physical design of individual parks over time. However, in Singapore the eastern literature has not addressed the development of parks and urban green spaces in terms of historical perspective.
