Do You Know?
That the total population in Singapore increased from 1.7 million in 1960, to 5.5 million people in 2014. It is an alarming
232% increment.
The increment includes not only Singaporeans but permanent residents and non-residents as well.
Having to cater to the increasing total population, despite limited land space, Singapore has to rapidly urbanize to ensure majority of the population’s needs are met. This includes, housing and aesthetic landscapes, etc.
Thus, Singapore was driven to urbanize, to achieve greater efficiency and affluence.
