On Sunday I spent an enjoyable few hours here in Singapore with Jarrett Walker, author of the excellent Human Transit (a must-read blog for anyone with an interest in transit planning).
Today he blogged about the evening, complete with many photos. Jarrett works mainly in the 'New World' cities of North America and Australasia as a consultant on public transport planning. This was his first visit to this Asian city. It is interesting to see his take on the bits of Singapore that we explored together (Ang Mo Kio mainly).
A few days earlier he also had some sharp observations on the pedestrian environment near his hotel near downtown Orchard Road.
After reading Jarrett's post, you may want more on transport and urban planning in Singapore. You could start with my previous posts on the city-state (see here and here).

The elevated sections of the MRT really should have greenways under them. That mess of concrete between AMK and Bishan is criminal in its failure to make an interesting space. I'm so glad I'm not the only one to see that.
