Registered as a non-profit society on 3 Nov 2006, Eye é City is the organizer of the annual flagship event, A Visual Account of the Last 24 Hours. Led by a team of dedicated volunteers, the society also organizes other fringe activities for the public including photography exhibitions, talks, and sharing sessions.
The overarching vision of Eye é City is to raise awareness and concern for the society at large by becoming a communal platform to allow participants to share, interact and learn through activities like art, photography, journalism and heritage.
In the years to come, Eye é City aims to be the driving force for a more compassionate and empathetic Singapore through retracing, recounting, reliving and reflecting upon our past and present.
用肉眼看城市 用心眼关爱人文
有人说新加坡是一个没有回忆的城市。随着经济命脉的跳动，城市的景观也迅速变化， 记忆也随着时光流逝。“城市的眼睛“ 是希望通过摄影的媒介，反映城市的景观变迁，记录城市人文的发展，集合成大家共同的回忆。源于2002年，活动没有设定题目，也不设奖品或排名。参加者在12 月31 日零时开始，到当天的23时59分，在新加坡任何角落，拍摄他们认为值得记录的影象。 每年刊登及展出的100 张照片，除反映大家关注的社会事件，也有让大家共鸣的个人感情抒发，因而引起城中人对于城市人文的关爱。

I never knew such an organization existed and i think its really cool. At least someone or a group of pple are concerned about our city and how it has evolved.
Especially when Singapore is a place known for its relentless continual development due to the scarcity of land.
A worth while and commendable effort i must say.
