Singapore sees how to optimize land use for the future

In little over a generation, Singapore has quickly grown from a third-world nation to a first-world country. The island nation’s need to make meaningful use of every inch of its near 280 square miles of territory meant that planners and developers had to get creative. With the help of Esri technology, Singapore produced a living digital twin to see exactly what was where, so it could visualize and execute massive infrastructure projects. Today, urban planners are optimizing spaces both above and underground to ensure city developments meet the needs of citizens and businesses for generations to come.

Explore the ways Singapore is using Esri technology to manage green spaces, infrastructure projects, and growth.
