Urban landscapes are usually thought of first and foremost as engineered formations designed for functionality. It is quite clear, however, that cities and towns are sites of social structure, scenes of diversity, and hotbeds of transgressions. They are also sources of satisfying social relationships, settings for actions negotiated on an everyday basis, and opportunities for kinesthetic and aesthetic experiences. Within these processes, the senses mediate engagement with the optimism of urban growth, the comfort of urban traditions, and a consciousness of the diverse relationships that embellish urban living, but also with the repellent sights and sounds that invade zones of comfort.This book examines how qualities of place and their sensuous reorganisation elucidate particular sociocultural expressions and practices in urban life. The collection illuminates how urban environments are distinguished, valued, or reconfigured with the senses as media for evaluating authentic spaces and places that endure and change over time.

Professor Tan Yock Lin (1953–2023) was a distinguished legal scholar. He was a prominent figure in Singapore's legal community and Emeritus Professor at the Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore. Over a career spanning forty years, he taught courses in no fewer than fourteen subjects and was the longest-serving and most prolific member of the Law Reform Committee of the Singapore Academy of Law. Known for his unparalleled knowledge of Singapore law, intellectual rigour, and deep personal integrity, Tan's scholarship helped define and advance the study of law in Singapore.This volume brings together twelve essays by eminent legal scholars addressing the wide-ranging fields in which Professor Tan made lasting scholarly contributions: equity and trusts, personal property, international law, and the law of evidence and criminal justice. Alongside these are personal tributes that offer glimpses into how he touched the lives of those around him as student, teacher, mentor, and colleague.At once an academic contribution and a work of remembrance, A Gentleman of the Law honours the legacy of a scholar whose impact will long continue to shape the legal landscape in Singapore and beyond. This volume is an essential addition to any collection on Singapore law.
