Introduction to Report

On 1 February 2008, the Institute of Policy Studies held a special edition of its flagship conference, Singapore Perspectives, to celebrate her 20th Anniversary. The conference was a culmination of a two year project called “Singapore Futures. Scenarios for the Next Generation” which invited intellectuals to develop scenarios of Singapore in 2030. The project covered a wide range of policy areas, and benefited from input through numerous workshops from key stakeholders, public officials and other academics.

Over 900 people attended the conference which went beyond presentations of the views of contributors to the project to also invite Minister Mentor Lee and four Cabinet Ministers to offer their views on the same topic of how Singaporeans will live, work and play in 2030.

This is report is an abbreviated record of the rich menu of ideas and issues that were raised at the event. We invite you to read it and add to the national conversation on the future that we are shaping today for the generation to come
