Sustainability: Land & Development – The 200 years story of Singapore and Beyond

With an area of 721.5 km², home to over 5.6 million, Singapore has had a keen focus on sustainability in its land use and development. Our founding fathers recognised that it was critical to house the nation, making it a priority that Singaporeans own their homes.

Mr Lee Kuan Yew was quoted as saying in an online report that “This was the plan which we had from the very beginning, to give everybody a home at cost or below cost and as development takes place, everybody gets a lift, all boats rise as the tide rises.”

Provision to be a garden city, have independent sources of food and water, a flourishing city, airport and port hubs; these were among the few pillars of our ecosystem which has made Singapore our home.

As we celebrate our bicentennial and look forward to how much more we can be in SG75, the words from Mr Lee Kuan Yew in 2011 succiently summarises our ethos, “I have spent my life, so much of it, building up this country. There’s nothing more that I need to do. At the end of the day, what have I got? A successful Singapore ...”
