This essay weaves through various key events in Singapore, designed objects and artworks, theories in geography and urban studies, and a series of infrastructural maps to critique Singapore position as a global city connected to the flows of a global economy. Based on an MA thesis and departing from an earlier project Concrete Island by the author, this research reflects his broader interest in thinking about/from Singapore through media theory.

This book is designed and published as a parallel edition to Flat Spaces, a condensed edited lecture version of the same research.
