Singapore's approach to urban planning, with a focus on green spaces and sustainability, offers a model for Indian cities to learn from in mitigating climate risks.

Singapore has designated nearly half of its area as green space, aiming to be a 'City in Nature'. This approach has created a vibrant and liveable city. In contrast, Indian cities face numerous challenges, including urban flooding and inadequate infrastructure. Unplanned development and poor compliance with regulations have made the delivery of basic services a luxury. Investing in sustainable and green urban development is core to India's goals of attracting investment and talent. Cities like Delhi, Pune, and Bengaluru are struggling to cope with climate-induced challenges, including water scarcity and flooding. Singapore's model offers a valuable lesson for Indian cities to prioritize green spaces and sustainability.
