Defining Singapore Public Space: From Sanitization to Corporatization
Singapore's built environment history demonstrates three areas worthy of consideration in the defining of public space within the island state—one of contesting space through dominant (colonial or state)/subservient (local community) power relationships in colonial and post-colonial Singapore; one of the reclamation and re-colonization of space; and finally the privatization of public space and the relationship between corporation and civil society. The homogenous, correspondent approach to design that sought to keep things apart in colonial and post-colonial Singapore has given way to an increasingly non-correspondent approach to design that attracts spatial and transpatial groupings in the state's drive to put things together. Paradoxically, however, the increasingly heterogeneous city is being served and interlinked by a continuum of privatized public space that is being controlled by dominant corporate powers with explicit rules of exclusion and usage, socially sanitizing space for more themed civil appropriation.
