Urban Development

The city has completed a number of urban development projects aimed at making the city centre friendlier to pedestrians:

  • Jalan Meldrum, formerly a two-way street, was narrowed into a single-lane street with an accompanying pedestrian mall having outdoor cafe kiosks.
  • The area around OCBC Bank and the City Council building was made more pedestrian-friendly.
  • Legaran Segget, or Segget Walk, was constructed.
  • Laman Tun Sri Lanang, a small park in the heart of the city, was constructed.

Famous quotes containing the words urban and/or development:

    “I have misplaced the Van Allen belt
    the sewers and the drainage,
    the urban renewal and the suburban centers.
    I have forgotten the names of the literary critics.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “They [women] can use their abilities to support each other, even as they develop more effective and appropriate ways of dealing with power.... Women do not need to diminish other women ... [they] need the power to advance their own development, but they do not “need” the power to limit the development of others.”
    —Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
