"The book offers insights on lesser-known topics through the discussion of public artworks at Mapletree Business City II.... All in all, Culture City. Culture Scape is a welcomed reference book on the discourse of public art in Singapore. With a critical, interdisciplinary approach, it successfully marries cultural and corporate interests to provide public education."
