The document outlines 10 principles for creating liveable high-density cities based on lessons learned from Singapore's experience and urban planning practices. Some of the key principles discussed include planning for long-term growth and renewal, embracing diversity while fostering inclusiveness, drawing nature closer to people, developing affordable mixed-use neighborhoods, making public spaces serve multiple uses, prioritizing green transport and building options, and promoting public-private partnerships. The principles were developed through workshops with urban planning experts and aim to demonstrate how well-planned design and development can create cities where people and the environment thrive even at high densities.

Project developed by I.D. Pablo Calderon
Adviced and coached by MA.ID. Cesar Sierra
This is my portfolio of the work completed thus far this year (2013) during my BTech: Architectural Technology at Cape Peninsula University of Technology which includes both group and individual projects
My extensive and diverse architectural experience over the past 10 years includes leading multifunctional teams on both rural and urban context. My ambition is to set up an interdisciplinary, social-enterprise-based architectural practice focusing on global issues. The project will use design as a tool for addressing problems and finding solutions, following participatory design-build approach by
experimenting with various local and recycled material incorporating modern technology appropriate to climate, culture, and place. I believe the educational agenda currently I am pursuing, will contribute to the conception, planning, and execution of the ambitious and important program I envision.
The work I have done ranges from a 90-sq.-foot, $450-prototype module for the urban migrant community, to a 78,000-sq-foot industrial building with a $3.5-million budget. These works have
provided me with in-depth knowledge of designing, detailing, project development, team management, building codes, and so on. As you will note in my credits, I have been the recipient of multiple awards,
grants and have appeared as a speaker and facilitator at various events locally and internationally.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
1. 10 Principles for Liveable High Density Cities: Lessons
from Singapore
Posted on January 24, 2013 by Robert Krueger
New Publication Shows How UrbanDensityCanBe ManagedwithInnovative Planning,Development and
Governance
SINGAPORE (January 24, 2013) – Innovative planning,design anddevelopment practices that emphasize a “people-first”
focus can help ensure that rapid urbanizationdoes notcompromise liveability and sustainability,accordingto a new
publication by the Urban Land Institute(ULI) and Singapore’s Centre forLiveable Cities (CLC).
10 Principles for Liveable HighDensity Cities:Lessons fromSingapore draws upon Singapore’s successfulurbanization
experience – despite its populationdensity,the city-statehas consistently ranked favorably in various surveys measuring
the liveability and sustainability ofcities aroundthe globe.
The ten principles in the publication were developed during two workshops hostedin 2012 by the CLC and ULI Asia
Pacific, bringing together62thought leaders,experts and practitioners fromdifferent disciplines related to urban planning
and development.Discussionsat the first workshop centredaroundthe fourcasestudydistricts in Singapore that both
organizationsconsiderto be bothdensely populatedand highly liveable:the mixed-use downtown district ofMarina Bay;
the commercial corridorofOrchard Road,and two newpublic housingdevelopments in Toa Payohand Tampines.The
ideas and principles sogenerated were furtherdeveloped,corroborated,and condensed into tenprinciples.
Read the report.
In the foreword to the publication,MrKhaw Boon Wan,Singapore’s MinisterforNationalDevelopment,points to the
lasting benefitsofbuilding cities forpeople.“The inexorable trend ofurbanpopulation growth in modern times is not
likely to stop.Even forcountrieswith no shortage ofland,the growth oftheirurban populations has confrontedtheircities
with constant challengesto thequality oftheirliving environment…ForSingapore,these challenges have been
compounded bythe limitations ofits size as a small island,” he said.“Maintaining a good quality,liveable high-density
urban landscape in which all Singaporeans canfind and make a home is crucialto the survivalofthe Singapore nation.”
2. “Expansive,rapid urbanization is adding challenges to the business ofbuilding cities thatare prosperous,liveable,and
able to withstand time and change,” notesULIChief Executive Officer Patrick L. Phillips. “Through ourworkwith the
CLC, we are aiming to demonstrate howwell-planneddesign anddevelopment is the foundationfora physical
environment thatis conducive to a competitive economy,sustainable environment anda high quality oflife. Ultimately,
cities are about what’sbestforpeople,not buildings orcars.The places that are built to reflect this reality will have a
competitive edge in ourglobalized economy.”
“Singapore is seenas a high density,high liveability development model.We sawsome relevance ofSingapore’s
experience to others,particularly emerging cities,many ofwhomare high densityand wantto raise the quality oflife for
theirpeople.We hope this joint publicationwill contribute in some way towards people having a more optimistic viewof
living in high densitycities,” said Khoo TengChye,Executive Director,CLC.
Each of the 10 principles in the publication reflects Singapore’s integrated modelofplanning anddevelopment,which
weaves togetherthe physical,economic,socialand environmentalaspects ofurban living.The ten principles are:
Plan for long-term growth and renewal –A highly dense city usually does nothavemuch choice butto make efficient
use ofevery square inch ofits scarce land.Yet city planners need to do this in a way that does notmake the city feel
cramped and unliveable.A combinationoflong-termplanning,responsive land policies,development controland good
design hasenabled Singapore to have dense developments thatdo not feeloverly crowded,and,in fact,are both functional
and aesthetically pleasing.
Embrace diversity, foster inclusiveness – There is a need to ensure that diversity is not divisive,particularly in densely
populatedcities where people live in close proximity to one another.Densityand diversityworkin Singapore because
there has always beena concurrent focuson creating a sense ofinclusiveness throughencouraging greaterinteraction.
Draw nature closer topeople – Blending nature into the city helps softenthe hardedges ofa highly built up cityscape
and providesthe city dwellers pocketsofrespite fromthe bustle ofurban life. By adoptinga strategyofpervasive greenery
and by transforming its parks and waterbodies into lifestyle spaces forcommunity activities,Singapore integratednature
with its dense developments.Nearly halfof Singapore is nowundergreencover,which is not only aesthetically pleasing,
but also improves the airquality and mitigates heatfromthe tropicalsun.
Develop affordable, mixed-use neighbourhoods – The ease ofliving in a compact neighbourhood that is relatively self-
containedcan add to thepleasure ofcity living.With density,it becomes more costeffective to provide common
amenities.Neighbourhoods in Singapore’snewtowns have a mix ofpublic and private developments which are served
with a full range offacilities that are easy to access and generally affordable.
Make public spaces work harder – Often,parcels ofland that adjoin orsurroundthe city’s infrastructure are dormant,
empty spaces.Singapore hassought to maximize the potentialofthese spaces by unlocking themforcommercial and
leisure activities,The idea is to make all space,including infrastructuralspaces,serve multiple uses and users.
Prioritise greentransportand building options – An overallreduction in energy consumptionand dependence addsto
city sustainability.Singapore hasadopted a resource-conscious growthstrategythat relies on planning,design andthe use
of low-energy environmentalsystems forits buildings.It has alsodeveloped an efficient public transport systemand well-
connected walkwaysto give city dwellers transport alternatives to driving.
3. Relieve densitywith variety and add greenboundaries – A high-densitycity need not be allabout closely packedhigh-
rise buildings.Singapore intersperses high-rise with low-rise buildings,creating a skyline with more characterand
reducing the sense ofbeing in a crowded space.
Activate spaces for greater safety – Having a sense ofsafetyand security is an important quality-of-life factor.As
Singapore became denser,designsofhigh-rise public housingestates were modified to improve the “visualaccess” to
spacesso thecommunity can collectively be the “eyes on the street,” helpingto keep neighbourhoods safe.
Promote innovative and non-conventional solutions – As a city gets more populatedand built up,it starts facing
constraintson land andresources,and hasto oftenlookat non-traditionalsolutions to getaround thechallenges.To ensure
sufficient water,Singapore developedreclaimed waterunderthe brandname NEWater-to drinking and industrial
standards.
Forge “3P” (people, public, private) partnerships – With land parcels in close proximity to one another,the effectsof
development in one area are likely to be felt quickly and acutely in neighbouringsites.The city government and all
stakeholders need to worktogetherto ensure they are not taking actions that would reduce thequality oflife for others.
URA launched theSingapore RiverONE partnership to getthe various stakeholders to feela strongerownership of
Singapore Riverso that socialand economic activity in the precinct would be developedin a coordinated andsustainable
manner.
“Fornew cities that are forming and oldercities that are redeveloping…the ten principles can be a starting point forcity
planners,developersand dwellers to triggerideas abouthowtheywant theircity to evolve andbe shaped,”states the
publication.“Creating a highly dense yet liveable city,while not always easy,is very possible.”
