Known as City in a Garden, Singapore’s landscape has transformed itself into one of the world’s most sustainable cites.
Recently, Singapore topped the list of ci5es with the highest density of greenery. Treepedia uses Google Street View data to measure the aboveground por5on of trees and vegeta5on in ci5es around the world - forming what its creators call the Green View Index (GVI).
Singapore is in first place with a GVI of 29.3 per cent, followed by Sydney and Vancouver, which 5ed for second place with 25.9 per cent. Each year, Singapore introduces up to 2,000 trees in parks, roads, and state lands in a massive effort enhance greenery and boost biodiversity.
And, did you know, each tree has a tree doctor assigned to it?
