Take a shortcut! Explore the pop-up market! Breathe the fresh scents of flowers in a secret garden! What if backlanes were far from the state they are in today — lively chatter and laughter replacing the heat and noise of air-conditioning condensers and foul smells from trash bins?

Reclaiming Backlanes presents design visions for future development of shophouse neighbourhoods, reprogramming backlanes into viable and high-quality common spaces, while improving energy efficiency of shophouses by up to 50%. These visions mark the convergence of studies in energy efficiency, pedestrian movement, historic building stock analysis and urban diversity by a multidisciplinary team.

Contents:

  • Introduction
  • Backlanes in Singapore
  • Backlane Infrastructure & Services
  • Focus Area: Boat Quay Analysis
  • Focus Area: Emerald Hill Analysis
  • Findings & Alternatives
  • Scenarios Boat Quay
  • Scenarios Emerald Hill
  • Conclusion & Outlook

Readership: Practitioners and students of architecture, urban design, urban planning and building technology; real estate developers; government agencies; and policy makers.
