Kennie Ting is a sociologist and cultural heritage professional fascinated by the urban histories and architectural heritage of colonial cities in Asia; and by the phenomenon of travel. He graduated with a double major in English and Economics at the University of California, Berkeley and a Master's in World Cities and Urban Life at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Born in Singapore, he counts six different cities across the world as home, and travels obsessively. When not wandering through Asia searching for traces of the colonial past, he works for the National Heritage Board of Singapore, devising strategies for the promotion and preservation of cultural heritage in the island republic.
