How Singapore Became the World’s Greenest City

Singapore is a small island nation that has become one of the world’s greenest cities. In this video, you will discover how Singapore achieved this remarkable feat and what challenges it faces in maintaining and enhancing its green status. You will also see some of the iconic and innovative projects that showcase Singapore’s creativity and commitment to sustainability.

Singapore’s green transformation began with a clear vision and strong political will. Since its independence in 1965, Singapore has embarked on a journey of urban planning and development that prioritized greenery and liveability. Singapore has integrated nature into its built environment and created a city in nature, where people can enjoy green spaces within their neighbourhoods. Singapore has also received many accolades and recognition for its green efforts, such as being ranked first in the Green City Index for Asia and top in the Treepedia index for urban tree density.

Singapore’s green status is not without its challenges. As a small and densely populated island, Singapore faces various environmental and social issues that threaten its sustainability and quality of life. Some of these issues include climate change, population growth, urban sprawl, waste management, biodiversity loss, and energy transition. Singapore is addressing these challenges through policies, technologies, research, and collaboration. The government has established the Singapore Green Plan 2030, which is a whole-of-nation movement to advance Singapore’s national agenda on sustainable development. The Green Plan charts ambitious and concrete targets over the next 10 years across five pillars: city in nature, energy reset, sustainable living, green economy, and resilient future.
