The City in the Forest
Singapore faces a lot of challenges. Climate change drives the temperature and the humidity in the tropical city to unbearable levels. Land for construction in the growing city is getting scarce and at the same time the growing population has to be nourished. While the scarcity of land is tackled with land reclamation projects the other challenges need different solutions. Today a growing number of citizens is focussing on projects to bring the nature back to the city - by turning buildings green or by bringing agriculture back into the city. As a lot of knowledge about nature has been lost in modern society one task is to reeducate and reintroduce the inha- bitants to natural processes and basics in farming. This project follows the efforts of small scale farmers, education institutions, architects and blog- gers on their way to make Singapore a more liveable city.
