Singapore, Singapore

Hi,my name is Shaurya Singh.I am from a place called Singapore,which you guys would or would not have heard of.It is one of the contestant for the smallest countries in the world.In this country the concept of a sprawl neighbourhood is non-existent.To be more precise in my analysis it is a perfect gel of the sprawl neighourhood and traditional neighourhood that are present in the USA.Singapore has a combination of apartments and single family homes.
In the documentary "Blueprint America" the concept of getting stuck in traffic or living far from work is alien for me.Hence,all this is kind of information does not register and further more the pulic transport of Singapore was rated in the top 3 in the world.So it only takes us about 1hour for us to get from one end of Singapore to another.But as the topic requires an explanation(description) of my neighbourhood,I will try my best.Just imagine you have merged New York and Washington DC,you get Singapore.It is a miracle of architecture,it has combined the traditional neighbourhood with modernistic way of living.On the other hand the concept of sprawl is totally ignored.When a government has to make a 100 Square Kilometer land mass livable for 4 million,it can't afford to set up sprawl development.As we know from the book "Suburban Nation",sprawl is a total waste of space and resources.This kind of problems made it a big hindrance for it to spread in Singapore.People this is all I can think about my country right now in terms of the book and documentary.Wait till the next blog and you guys will learn more.
