Former Miss Singapore extends her expertise to ASSEMBLY!
Audrey Quek, Miss Singapore 1999, image consultant, trainer,
brand ambassador, happens to also be a honors graduate in Real Estate.
Singapore's transportation systems, housing, industrial policy and many
features of the urban landscape were part of the curriculum at the
National University of Singapore. In her public events and professional
work, the in-depth knowledge of how Singapore developed certainly were a
plus factor.
Audrey Quek is a keen advocate of Singapore's urban development to youths who would like to study how Singapore became the world's busiest port, secured its own water supplies, attracted top companies to be based here. Singapore is a very liveable city state, a former Miss Singapore would certainly flash a smile to that!

Competition gets another nod from The Centre for Liveable Cities, Singapore
The Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) is jointly established by The Ministry of National Development (MND) and the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources to
enhance Singapore's expertise in urban development and management. The
role of CLC is one of a knowledge centre and bringing
together expertise among the public, private and people sectors in city
development and management. It hopes to position itself as a centre of
global excellence that brings together the best ideas and practices that
support efforts in building liveable cities that are dynamic, vibrant,
cohesive and sustainable.
The endorsement received from CLC to this competition is very critical because it means that we're serious in our business of raising awareness among today's youth. The recognition also opens up avenues for our young participants to be involved with sustainability issues on an international platform. Together we hope to effect a greater sense of what it means to live in liveable, green, sustainable cities and to share this timeless ethos with the youth.

ACTIVISTAR PRESENTS AT AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Activistar, the organiser of "Planning A Clean & Green Township"
will be presenting on designing sustainably for the tourism industry at
the American Chamber of Commerce.
Daniel Tay will speak to a group of decision makers in the hospitality industry on setting the importance on the environment from the planning stage and modeling it for a sustainable future.
The Green agenda and eco-movement is not an uncommon feature in the hospitality industry. Eco-resorts, sustainable development, saving water, less shampoo, turtle conservation funds and other eco-projects all contribute in bits and bytes, and are implemented eagerly by management, staff and guests. However, there are more grounds to cover if hotels, resorts and developments tie in to the regional master plans or in simpler words, "the bigger regional picture." This methodology often reduces duplication, involves shared resources and creates better natural and human communities. Several regional planning concepts such as New Urbanism and Designing with Nature will be introduced as well as a current case study in North Vietnam.
Town planning is a whole system interlinked to form a working city. It involves placing of housing, transportation, commercial, industrial, enviromental,energy, water and much more to form a urban solution to meet the needs of a population. Tourism has to be considered to enhance the cultural and historical aspect of a city, hence it is important to find this balance in the urban solution.
"Tying in Developments to the Greater Green Master Plan" will be held on 1 Sept 2011 at the AmCham Boardroom
