Whatever you think you know about Singapore, you better start making room for a whole new set of discoveries. Over the past year, we’ve had the privilege to rediscover our own backyard and reignite our appreciation for the city – and this has resulted in the Love Local guidebook.
Together with the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), we've set out on a quest to dig deep and uncover hidden gems and also talked to interesting personalities and stakeholders in various neighbourhoods about their personal stories. We saw innovative placemaking happen, the greening of spaces with rich histories and heritage, the importance of community in shaping history – these moments made us reflect on how our actions affect the future of these spaces, and our city.
Pick up a copy now or head to the Love Local website to check out what we have discovered. The next time you go out on a walk, remember to slow down to notice jagged alleyways, colourful tiles of shophouses and ancient heritage trees on your hikes – and much more. Happy rediscovering!
