Almost half of Singapore is now green space. Here’s how it became a nature-first city
Singapore’s efforts to expand its greenery began in the 1960s. Rapid urbanization had cut green space to just 36% but Singapore rebranded itself as a ‘Garden City’ and launched its first greening campaign. Today, it has preserved and reclaimed 78km2 of green space with a plan to add 10km2 more in the next decade.

Singapore’s known as a ‘Clean and Green City’, and with everyone’s help, we can live up to our name. Remember: litter goes in the green bins. Recyclables go in the blue ones. But if a recyclable has food or liquid within, #RecycleRight and empty it first. Let’s #KeepSingaporeClean together – pause the GIF when you see the right binning behaviour! #NDP2019 | Clean & Green Singapore
