Creating a vibrant city: Planning and prioritising your city maintenance plans

October 17 - 18, 2012 | Goodwood Park Hotel, Singapore

“Do not try to make circumstances fit your plans. Make plans that fit the circumstances”

- General George Patton (1947)

WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT Asian cities have seen rapid expansion and development over the past decade. This creates pressure on various city councils and their city engineers as they have the responsibility of ensuring their cities reflect the growing prowess of the Asian economy - robust, efficient and sustainable. Today's cities need to be safe and efficient, and that can only be achieved through properly structured maintenance planning and execution. No two cities are the same. Each has its own unique characteristics, yet the crux of a city - the infrastructure of roads, public spaces, public amenities, transportation, buildings and facade are globally recognisable. The challenge for city engineers can be categorised into: Cost, policy, capability, available technology, logistics, two-way community engagement and proper execution.
