Singapore's land regime can be called as the regime of regulating public land; the state owns 90 per cent of the land in Singapore. This concluding chapter of the book provides a summary of Singapore's land regime, and discusses what the analysis of Singapore can bring to understanding the land, urban and rent ‘questions’. The main conclusions are that: affordable housing for the majority of people is feasible; preventing land speculation is possible, and is the key to successful housing and urban policy; a city can simultaneously have government intervention and a successful private development industry; and real world alternatives for urban development (not just utopias) exist.
