本章探讨了新加坡为那些为了寻求志愿护理服务而放弃工作的外国工人提供的服务中心。它通过关注他们在专制政治背景下的社会背景以及与市中心建筑环境的关系来做到这一点。我们的目标是更深入地挖掘城市失序的社会和空间维度，这套如何在工人的生存地理中发挥作用，以及这些如何被政府吸收和竞争。因此，本章感兴趣的是这些空间是如何进行环境管理，使用和谈判。这提供了一个洞察这些内城地区如何运作，不仅作为一个避难所，但也平衡了新加坡的高度'消毒'的城市空间。
This chapter examines Singapore’s service hubs for foreign workers who have deserted their workplace in search for voluntary care services. It does so by focusing on their social background in an authoritarian political context and in relation to the inner-city built environment. The objective is to dig in deeper on the social and spatial dimensions of urban disorder, how this set functions in the workers’ geographies of survival, and how these are co-opted as well as contested by the government. As such, this chapter is interested in how these spaces are ambivalently regulated, used and negotiated. This provides an insight on how these inner-city areas operate not only as a place of refuge but also a counterweight to Singapore’s highly ‘sanitized’ urban space.
