A City in Nature

14m 51s

How does a densely populated, skyscraper-lined nation like Singapore transform into a lush green oasis where wildlife thrives alongside humans? The island nation’s ambitious vision of becoming a “City in Nature” aims to integrate urban living with biodiversity and requires careful coordination between government leaders, designers of the urban landscape, and its citizens.

Aired: 11/30/25
