Singapore City, Singapore: City in a Garden
Abstract The island city-state of Singapore occupies a relatively small space—about 700 square kilometers (270 sq. mi.)—on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, and is home to some 5.4 million people. Designing and planning for a dense living environment is critical and the vast majority of the population lives in high-rise buildings. And yet this city is remarkably green and full of nature, creating a new model of Asian vertical green living that may represent a compelling model for other cities and parts of the world. As Poon Hong Yuen, the CEO of the National Parks Board, or NParks, told me on a recent visit, this is simply a matter of necessity for this dense, land-scarce city.
