This book offers theoretical and practical insights into land use, transport, and national policies in one of world's well-known urban concrete jungle, none other than the Singapore city. The emphasis is situated on Singapore's attempt to promote walking and cycling.

The book offers a comprehensive coverage of walkability as a crucial component of urban design to reduce vehicular congestion with the associated carbon emissions, foster a healthy lifestyle and community participation and create jobs to help the economy.
