As a result, building land is scarce and precious. This is why land management has been placed under the control of the government, which owns 90 % of building land, either directly or through its organizations. The improvement of this management rests both on the creation of a group of urban institutions in charge of regulating land development, and on the purchase of state land, for which government companies, administrative authorities, and private actors are in competition. Thus, though Singapore is an administrative state, it is clear that a mode of flexible governance is emerging, based on the decompartmentalization of urban institutions
