Ng Keng Gene

Keng Gene joined The Straits Times in 2020 and reports on issues relating to land use, urban planning and heritage. He has a keen interest in how Singapore’s urban fabric has changed over the years and tries to reflect in his stories how these changes impact people’s social memories, identities and sense of belonging. He takes pleasure in well-designed public spaces, such as the Marina Barrage, rooftop gardens in Housing Board blocks and walkable waterfronts.
