Synopsis:

Gain fascinating insights into our histories as a people and our relationship to the land and with each other in this talk with Dr Imran Tajudeen, an assistant professor at the NUS Department of Architecture.

The discussion will touch on political, socio-economic and cultural histories that may be gleaned about urban and rural Singapore from cross-referencing native and official colonial place names, old European maps, accounts and records in the Malay language.
