Cultural engagement and global creative cities: Singapore, Shanghai and Tokyo cases

I would like to present cultural engagement in Asian Context, particularly focused in the following two points. One is taken in Singapore case and I would deal with the detail content developed during these 20 years. It is very interesting case, because Singapore government has successfully accomplish the cultural institutions. Of course there have been some intensions between government and Singaporean people. I introduce the concrete cases and analyze them. During 20 years Singapore government considerably planned and sytematically managed some artistic areas including aritstic participation, art education, artistic outreach activities. And it will be included a famous ethnic public policy in Singapore. I would trace the historical transformation and analyze the sociological meanings.  Second I would compare with other typical Asian cases. Particularly I would take both Shanghai and Tokyo. Both cities are global creative cities just the same as Singapore. Of course each city have had its original history and have making its unique type by itself. But there exist Asian Share-ness among the three cases. Mainly I would point out the relationship between national/city government and people. If possible, through the session I would like to compare south America's cases and discuss with them.
