Singapore Perspectives 2022 "City" - Pre-Conference Session

Pre-Conference Session Cities, Civilisations and Geopolitics: In Conversation with George Yeo and Liu Thai Ker

The theme of this year’s conference is “City”. In this conference, we will engage intellectually with Mr S. Rajaratnam’s vision for Singapore to be a truly global city. We will explore how Singapore can further actualise this vision by extending beyond the physical city to embrace new digitally-enabled financial, economic and social spaces.

In doing so, we hope to answer the question: how can Singapore continue to succeed as a global city and a city-state in the 21st century?
