Скачать или смотреть Is Singapore’s Infrastructure Really Designed For Diversity?

How does where we live shape who we are — and who we grow up with?

In this episode, Annette and Jeevan dive into the invisible design of Singapore’s heartlands: from the Ethnic Integration Policy to carefully planned HDB blocks, parks, and public transport. They explore how urban planning isn’t just about buildings — it’s about the daily moments that quietly bring people from different walks of life together.

They hit the streets to ask Gen Zs what they really know about EIP — and why, even if they don’t notice it, it’s already part of how they experience community, culture, and connection.

From floor parties and food exchanges to bus uncles and block identities — this episode unpacks the unspoken design behind how we live together.
