The Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) is jointly established by The Ministry of National Development (MND) and the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources to
enhance Singapore's expertise in urban development and management. The
role of CLC is one of a knowledge centre and bringing
together expertise among the public, private and people sectors in city
development and management. It hopes to position itself as a centre of
global excellence that brings together the best ideas and practices that
support efforts in building liveable cities that are dynamic, vibrant,
cohesive and sustainable.
The endorsement received from CLC to this
competition is very critical because it means that we're serious in our
business of raising awareness among today's youth. The recognition also
opens up avenues for our young participants to be involved with
sustainability issues on an international platform. Together we hope to
effect a greater sense of what it means to live in liveable, green,
sustainable cities and to share this timeless ethos with the youth.
ASSEMBLY is an open competition meant to introduce Youths to the concept of Systems Thinking through town planning. Town Planning is a delicate art of balancing interests, pushing for growth and lots more. Youths will be guided through processes of what makes a township liveable, what are the obstacles and challenges and finally, are given a chance to plan their own township. It is perhaps a slight formal version of popular online games like Cityville or Sim City.
