Singapore has been likened to a life-sized gallery of architecture and urban design. In the city stands many exemplary works by local and international architects. In commemoration of Singapore's 40th year of nationhood, URA is organising an exhibition called "Singapore 1:1 - City".

The exhibition presents a selection of the architecture and urban works built in the city over the past 40 years and discusses their roles in creating our distinctive city today. The featured works range from residential to commercial buildings and public institutions.

In conjunction with the exhibition, the exhibition's curator, Dr Wong Yunn Chii from the Department of Architecture, School of Design and Environment (NUS), will be giving a talk. Dr Wong will share his insights on the featured projects and Singapore's development in architecture and urban design.

The exhibition and talk are part of URA's ongoing effort to promote architecture and urban design (A&UD) excellence in Singapore.

This exhibition is organised in collaboration with the Board of Architects (BOA), National University of Singapore (NUS), Real Estate Developers' Association of Singapore (REDAS) and the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA).
