Why Singapore is Insanely Well Designed

Singapore is admired as one of the smartest countries in the world. Located along the Straights of Johor, Singapore has a population of over 5 million people, and has one of the largest economies in the world. Throughout the video, I explain how Singapore is designed so well, and how it became the economic giant it is today. I break down everything from Singapore separating from Malaysia, to the 1958 Masterplan that transformed the country, and the new, 2019 Masterplan that hopes to continue Singapore's ambitious urbanization plans for decades into the future.

The new 2019 Masterplan will invest over $100 Billion Dollars into future urbanization plans. The government hopes it will help support a larger population in the future, and also help their economic growth at the same time.

Singapore, officially The Republic of Singapore, is a sovereign island in Southeast Asia.

I agree with some of the comments, I was expecting to see some city planning instead of a video talking about Singapore’s economy

[somewhereover]

This said nothing about the planning or design of Singapore, only that it’s a rich nation

[huaiwei]

As a Singaporean geography teacher, I am expecting much more in-depth content supported by facts than the constant motherhood statements being repeated from start to end. No details about the master and concept plans besides those floating maps and how they evolved? No mention of the way the city is physically laid out and the thoughts behind it?

[BariumCobaltNitrogn]

There is no information in this video, you just repeated that Singapore is a rich country (the citizens or the government? What kind of government?) and they are smart. Smart in what way? What did they design? What do you mean design? The streets and buildings? The infrastructure? The tax system? Is there a financial benefit to the citizens? They had a master plan in 1958, what was it? What is the new 2019 plan? Urbanization is very vague. What is a sovereign country? Do they not have stop signs? Do cars drive themselves? The description of the video is the excited coked-out plan, the video is the next day on the couch, not answering the phone.

I had to listen 3 times but yes, the video actually claims that Singapore is ”the 4th largest economy in the world”. Which is utter nonsense. By GDP it is somewhere around 38th, and even per capita it is 12th.

Question: So tell me about the design?
Answer: Singapore is rich and smart 😑🙄

[veekwok]

Well, maybe not so much descriptions on why it is Well-Design, but it is true Singapore is Extremely Well Designed. I do enjoy the video.

[smidge-J]

you somehow managed to make 20 seconds of information fit into 5 minutes, and feel like 20 minutes

[wangshiyao]

Downvoted because you used a click-bait title 'Why Singapore is extremely well designed' without touching at all on the why's or the how's. I wanted to learn something but this wasted my time.

[sundalongpatpat]

Maybe the design Arkive is talking about is not so much a physical one but an intangible framework Singapore is taking on but maybe what's even more important are the friends we've made along the way.

[eze__]

Why are you lying about Singapore being the 4th largest economy in the world??? They're ranked 34th....

[svuvich]

This is the most vague and lacking description of Singapore I've ever seen. Pretty much all cities around the globe have masterplans with long term plans for 50+ years. It doesn't necessary make them well designed. In fact these plans aren't always even good

[Evergreen_nih]

The title says "Well Designed" but the video is about the economy of Singapore.

[Inanjet]

Funny, the map of Tokyo in the video icon is in Kowloon, Hong Kong

[nickolson]

Did you say 4th biggest economy? At 2:00. defenitley not true, it's 38th

[tanchye]

Every countries can do the same as Singapore.
1. Negligible or no corruptions.
2. Think & Plan 10yrs, 20+yrs ahead.
3. Constantly scout for talented peoples to run the country.
SIMPLE but not simple. 🤔🙄😂

[ohohothisrocks]

As a Singaporean, I don't understand why everyone is praising Singapore to this extend, like being the most progressive country in the world in 56 years, like that means anything. Obviously we can progress this fast.
Don't get me wrong, I love my country, but we are a small. Our government will be a massive fuckup if they can't even govern a country this small. But at least I am grateful for our leaders to be smart and innovative for their time so that future Singaporeans get to enjoy the fruits of their labour
This video has nothing to do with the title btw

[TusharGupta-vhjy]

2:01 singapore is the fourth largest economy?! bruh that's Germany.

[keizee]

... i was expecting an interview of the heat, drainage or airflow studies that were made

[maomaomaimaimao]

"Singapore is really well planned. The economy is amazing and all that stuff and economy economy yeah and the economy is cool and GDP economy"
