Singapore
Population: 5 million. Land mass: 710 square kilometers. Future projected population: 6.5 million. Future projected landmass: 710 square kilometers.
Multiply Singapore's population by 1,000 and you get 6.5 billion, the world's population. Multiply its landmass by 1,000 and that makes up 0.5 percent of the world's land area.
Conclusion? If the world was built and planned like Singapore, the world's population could fit into 0.5 percent of the earth's total land area, or 1,000 Singapores. A seemingly incredulous concept but a closer look at "1000 Singapores: A Model of the Compact City," Singapore's entry for the 12th Architecture Biennale in Venice, and the idea becomes a possibility.read more
