| Summary: | In the renaissance city report 2.0 of the “Ministry of Information,
Communication and the Arts” the vision for Singapore is stated as being
"ranked among the top 10 countries in the Global Competitiveness Rankings
for design-related categories, to be recognised as a global media city and to
be seen as an innovative and multi-talented global city for arts and culture by
2012.”

investigating whether absolute freedom is a necessary condition for creativity
or whether, on the contrary, a restrictive environment can even be beneficiary
to it. |
