It examines the issue from two angles: the creation and preservation of the built environment, and the transient use of public space. The first angle is discussed primarily from a heritage law viewpoint, focusing on planning law, compulsory acquisition law, and the legal regime for creating national monuments. As for the second angle, the article looks at how the use of common spaces for assemblies and processions is regulated. The foregoing are examined in the context of Edward Soja’s assertion in Seeking Spatial Justice (2010) that the equitable distribution of resources, services and access in cities is an important right. 2015-12-01T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/sol_research/1527 info:doi/10.1017/asjcl.2015.15 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/sol_research/article/3479/viewcontent/2015_10_2__AsJCL_213_234_WeBuiltThisCity_postprint.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University constitutional law compulsory acquisition law Edward Soja heritage law planning law Singapore spatial justice transient use of public spaces Asian Studies Land Use Law Urban Studies and Planning |
