There are plenty of things your city can learn from Singapore without becoming Singapore. I am listing four of my own observations and three things my toddler would like to see.
Cleaning up the river: Demand that your local river is made swimmable
Greening the city: We must integrate much more greenery
Fixing traffic: It’s possible to fix traffic in a growing city
Public facilities are public spaces: maximize the use of space
My toddler wants to see orange juice vending machines, cable cars, and more playgrounds in the inner-city.
