Living in the city

What would you say are the key features of a liveable and sustainable city? How successful is Singapore in that respect, and what more needs to be done? Girija Pande, Chairman of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Asia-Pacific remarked, “Now at 5 million, Singapore's population is set to continue to grow at a rapid pace, and urban management and efficiency are critical factors towards the liveability and sustainability of the city-state… In fact, recognising the huge leadership role Singapore has in this area, SMU and TCS have strategically combined resources to create the iCity Lab at SMU, an initiative that will see the joint development of digital solutions that cities can use to better service their citizen's everyday needs in key areas such as healthcare, education, transportation, public safety and many others.”
