ISBN: 9780804843355.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith stunning photographs and insightful commentary this travel pictorial and Singapore travel guide captures the dynamism of a remarkable Pacific nation.\n\nIn just a few short decades, Singapore has transformed itself from a tiny island off the coast of mainland Asia into a global superpower in banking, IT, education, biotech, transportation and many other fields. The fascinating story of how this tiny city-state which has no hinterland, no natural resources, and a relatively small population has achieved success is told in this book.\n\nSingapores history as a British colonial port, its dynamic multi-ethnic population, and its innovative governmental and social structures, are a part of the story. But there are others as well. How Singapore became a regional hub for finance, shipping and air travel, and now also for the arts, sport and leisure—are all showcased in dynamic detail, with over 300 full-color photographs to illustrate graphically how this small island functions like a well-tuned racing machine.\n\nAuthor Kim Inglis, a journalist, and long-time local resident, leads the reader on a series of explorations through Singapores most notable districts and neighborhoods, explaining the growth and importance, and showcasing what they have to offer the visitor. Included are many lesser-known corners of the island which very few visitors ever get to see!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tuttle Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118389780533,"sku":"ByrdShop_080484335X","price":45.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780804843355_7a4f12f2-b210-46f7-b977-33598d166846.jpg?v=1778954286","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/singapore-world-city-9780804843355","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
