Description: A tree planting campaign launched in 1963 saw the start of Singapore’s transformation from an industrialised city into a liveable one. In May 1967, then Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew set up the grand vision of “a garden city beautiful with flowers and trees, and as tidy and litterless as can be.” His legacy remains today and attracts many visitors to our shores.This book examines the first-hand experience of those involved in shaping the horticultural development of Singapore, from the 1970s to the 1990s. The driving force behind this decades-long process of the greening of Singapore has been Lee Kuan Yew, who took the lead in his capacity as then Prime Minister, to steer and beautify Singapore. This book celebrates the efforts of the authors and Lee Kuan Yew's early vision of a Garden City. Free shipping with USPS Media Mail.
