Description |
The Singapore Story is Singapore's hegemonic national narrative, which celebrates the early embrace of neo-liberal-developmental economics for the putative benefit of all ordinary Singaporeans. Like all historical narratives, it has been ordered selectively and presents certain outcomes as natural or inevitable. The Garden City programme, in operation from 1967 to 2013, has reshaped the city in the image of a multinational capital, re-ordering space to complement the national narrative. Historical fictions such as Simon Tay's City of Small Blessings (2009) and Suchen Christine Lim's The River's Song (2013) offer new, plural perspectives on recognizable historical narratives as they are embedded in Garden City spaces, potentially undoing the erasures of dominant versions of history. |

Abstract |
The People’s Park Complex is one of two megastructures built in the early 1970s as prototypes for a new “Asian city of tomorrow” designed to humanize the urban expansion of Singapore through the creation of affective ensembles and connections, and would serve as an alternative to the state’s forcible relocation of the population to alienating, cookie-cutter high-rise new towns. While the envisioned model of an expansive, affective urbanism failed to materialize in these megastructures, I examine how the transnational migrant and working-class communities that use the complex engage in other forms of affective placemaking that disrupt the narratives and temporalities in the state’s recuperation of the surrounding old city by the state as a heritage and tourist district. I illuminate how affect can serve as an analytic to reorient a unilinear notion of architectural failure toward new temporalities, imaginations, and futurities. |
