本文讨论了新加坡城邦的遗产管理问题，特别是关于指定国家古迹和保护区的决定。分析显示，出于经济、社会文化和政治动机的综合考虑，官方对建筑遗产保护的兴趣日益浓厚。然而，承诺受到对经济发展目标的重视的限制，而且强调通过适应性再利用来最大限度地发挥旧楼的商业潜力。还提出了关于国家特性和国家地位的含义以及在相对年轻和快速现代化的国家中选择和保留体现这些概念的结构的挑战的问题。
Issues of heritage administration in the city state of Singapore are examined in the paper with specific reference to decisions about the designation of national monuments and conservation areas. The analysis reveals growing official interest in built heritage conservation for a combination of economic, socio‐cultural and political motives. However, commitment is constrained by the importance attached to economic development objectives and there is an emphasis on maximising the commercial potential of old buildings through adaptive reuse. Questions are also raised about the meanings of national identity and nationhood and the challenges of selecting and preserving structures which embody these concepts in relatively young and rapidly modernising countries.
