SINGAPORE - Singapore wants to make cycling more than just a recreational activity, turning it into a 'viable transport option for short trips', National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan wrote in his blog on Wednesday.
In his blog, Mr Khaw referred to research findings by Singapore's Our Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) and the US-based Urban Land Institute (ULI), which concluded that when more people walk or cycle in a city, there are "substantial benefits" to the individual, society, environment and the economy. The findings were published in a book launched today in Singapore and New York, he said.
