Abstract

Walking is an important part of the transportation system, as everyone walks. Providing an adequate infrastructure network promotes walking. Additional walking facilities encourage longer walks, especially in the tropical climate of Singapore. This paper provides a good documentation of the historical infrastructural developments to enhance the walking experience in Singapore, from post World War II to present. Lessons learnt from these past experiences are highlighted.
