Participants will learn to apply the Singapore Liveability Framework, which was distilled from the experiences of pioneers who led Singapore’s urban planning and governance over the decades. The programme facilitates the exchange of experience among Public Service officers, Singapore pioneers and industry experts.
Uniquely, it promotes networking among different Singapore agencies, and encourages officers to adopt a whole-of-government approach in solving current and future urban challenges in an integrated manner. Among the highlights of this course are the specially curated learning journeys designed for City EXCEL participants to learn about urban issues and the solutions that Singapore agencies have delivered since the 1950s.
Programme Outline
Drawing upon the Singapore Liveability Framework, the City EXCEL programme spotlights the principles, considerations and constraints underpinning Singapore’s urban transformations. The programme utilises multi-disciplinary approaches to urban analysis, as well as knowledge sharing from urban practitioners in government, the private sector and the community to help participants break across silo perspectives. The programme is based on:
