Land as Project: On Territorial ConstructionMilica Topalović

The scale and speed at which earth-work projects can now be implemented warrants an examination of the problematic of land reclamation for territorial expansion. Touching upon the role of major infrastructure projects that have reshaped Singapore’s coastline, the essay charts a route through the history of what are not just constructions of land and infrastructure, but also of political power relations.
