Sustainable Infrastructure and its Application in Singapore

Abstract:

Infrastructure is an important part of the system, and Sustainable Infrastructure (SI) holds the key to sustainable development. Those who are successful in developing SI will most likely be the economic leaders of tomorrow. Four main aspects about SI in Singapore, which include Energy supply, Transport, NEWater and Waste, are analyzed individually to demonstrate their contributions to sustainable development. Given the consequences of environmental issues (global warming as the most urgent problem), it is evident that only those that succeed in decoupling production from the extraction and use of renewable resources will be able to have continuous economic growth in the future. The case of Singapore appears to be an important prototype for reflection on the question of SI constructions and its specific conditions, practices and requirement in the context of Asian world city development.
