Abstract

Accounts of projects generally credit design vision to the landscape architect or architect, relegating the role of the developer to the client. This essay offers an alternative perspective, arguing for the recognition of the Asian developer as an agent of transnational design innovation. While there has been ample discussion of the wealth to be made in the Asian property market, little attention has been paid to the developer’s motives and ambitions beyond economic gain. Through the discussion of two transnational development companies, CapitaLand and Swire Properties, we demonstrate the role these Asian-based developers have played in establishing an emerging urban public domain in some dense Asian cities.
