#TalkBack: Should we pedestrianise the whole of Orchard Road, like Holland Village?

from Talkback · host CNA

On Wednesday (12 August), we heard news that the existing stretch of Orchard Road between Buyong Road and Handy Road could be transformed into a pedestrianised activity promenade. Now, this is just 500 meters we’re talking about here… How about pedestrianising the whole of Orchard Road, like Holland Village? Daniel Martin discusses further with Dr Lea Bou Sleiman, Assistant Professor, NUS Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy – who specialises in the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of pedestrianisation policies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
