Sustainable Construction for Singapore's Urban Infrastructure - Some Research Findings

Many cities around the world can afford the old model of urban sprawl, where the city boundary grows outwards. However, in small city states like Singapore, evolving the city of the future will be very different.

This includes adopting building designs, construction methods and materials that are environmentally-friendly, as well as using materials and resources that have sustainable supplies. A brief update of some research findings to address Singapore's infrastructural sustainability needs is presented.
