Singapore: A City-state’s Challenges
5.40 Million
• Population of 5.535 mil
• Land area of 719 km2
• 7,698 persons/km2 density
• Very limited natural resources
• Essential needs of a country for defence, accessibility (airport, sea port), basic survival (e.g. water supply and catchment)
coupled closely with municipal urban concerns

Building in Responses
Minimum Platform Levels & Flood Barriers • The minimum platform level for important
underground facilities e.g. Transit stations cannot be lower than 1 metre above the adjacent road / ground level or 1 metre above the highest recorded flood level
• Watertight barriers to protect
underground stations and tunnels
Guidelines for Enhancing Building Security • Structural measures designed to within
pressure and redistribute loads and use of force-resistant building materials
• Surveillance measures and natural artificial measures
