Singapore has successfully planned for a compact and livable city through high-density development and optimizing public infrastructure and transportation. The government has focused on sustainability across economic, social, environmental, and land use factors. This includes decentralizing economic activities, enhancing green spaces, preserving cultural heritage, and developing an integrated planning process that experiments with solutions and engages stakeholders.
