In 1963, he planted the first tree that sowed the seeds to make Singapore a Garden City.<\/div>\n<p>These were bold steps for a newly industrialising country. In the 1980s, we transformed the Singapore River from a heavily polluted passageway for boats to the beautiful urban water catchment area and vibrant destination that it is today.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Singapore Blueprint Launched\" href=\"http:\/\/www.todayonline.com\/singapore\/sustainable-singapore-blueprint-launched\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sustainable Singapore Blueprint Launched<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xjy0fiMyzXc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In 2014, to prepare the island city-state for disruptions, such as environmental challenges &amp; climate change shocks, and to recover, to adapt, to grow from a disruptive experience, Singapore takes up the 100 Resilience Cities Challenge, a project pioneered and financially supported by the Rockefellar Foundation of United States of America.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Resilience Challenge\" href=\"https:\/\/resilientcitiesnetwork.org\/singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Singapore&#8217;s Resilience City State Challenge<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a title=\"SG50 \" href=\"https:\/\/www.reubenointernet.com\/index.php\/2015\/01\/13\/sg50-chronological-stories_ones-perspective\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Singapore SG50 Chronological Stories_One&#8217;s Perspective<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Time Line of Singaporean History\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Timeline_of_Singaporean_history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Timeline of Singaporean History<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Case Study of Brunei vs Singapore Fortune\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/foo.menjoo\/posts\/1575018629398898\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Case Study of Brunei vs Singapore Fortune<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Official Name: Republic of Singapore City State: Main island of Singapore and some 63 offshore islands.
