Urban amnesia

On Singapore's frenetic urban renewal:

"If we are constantly rewriting our city,
we are constantly in a state of amnesia
and it will be hard to connect back
to our original feelings about the landscape of our country."

- Architect Khoo Peng Beng (quoted on The Straits Times, 7 Sept 2010 Pg A24)


If only the URA understood that.
