The City in the Forest by Jan Richard Heinicke | laif
Singapore faces a lot of challenges. Climate change drives the temperature and the humidity in the tropical city to unbearable levels. Land for construction in the growing city is getting scarce and at the same time the growing population has to be nourished. While the scarcity of land is tackled with land reclamation projects the other challendes need different solutions. Today a growing number of citizens is focussing on projects to bring the nature back to the city - by tuning buildings green or by agriculture back into the city. As a lot of knowledge about nature has been lost in modern society one task is to reeducate and reintroduce the habitants to natural processes and basics in framing. This project follows the effort of smal scale farmers, edcuation institutions, architects and bloggers on their way to make Singapore a more liveable city. (Jan Richard Heinicke)
