Abstract

Urban renewal is paradoxical. When it happens, someone inevitably will be made worse off despite the inherent implication that ``renewal'' must be beneficial. This article examines urban renewal in two Malay urban settlements, Kampung Bharu in Malaysia and Geylang Serai in Singapore, comparing and contrasting their development trajectories.
