Singapore is a rather large city-state, in my mind. Conceptually, I'm talking about Coral Gables, Florida (in its initial development up through the 1950s, but not afterwards), Washington, DC (during its City Beautiful-esque revival through the Great Depression), and others that are generally designed around Garden City/City Beautiful principles with some regard given to the ideas of Frederick Olmsted and Ebenezer Howard. Madison, Wisconsin gives me a bit of the impression of a Garden City. Just as well, Portland and Seattle have instituted many of the above principles in their process of urban renewal. I still don't know all that goes into it, I'm still a bit of a pleb when it comes to city planning and design. These are just my impressions.

Attached is my current reading. I'm working on the Jane Jacobs book currently.
