In this article, I argue that the concept of urban livability is used as a political tool by the Singaporean state to further its pursuit of global city status. I show how the state uses neighborhood upgrading as a mechanism to inscribe strategic meanings of livability onto Singapore's residential landscapes with the expectation that residents will align their experiences of livability with the former. I use an embodied approach to analyze state manipulation of two residential landscapes-condominiums and public housing-as an active means of official attempts to create two types of citizen-subjects. By juxtaposing the state's operationalization of livability against livability as understood in the context of residents' localized lifeworlds, I show how indeterminate outcomes arise from the state's livability project.
