Singapore Smart Nation

Singapore a Smart Nation and what it Means for Job Seekers

August 14, 2018/0 Comments/in Living in Singapore

Every year in August, Singaporeans celebrate Singapore National Day to commemorate the island state’s independence from the country of Malaysia. This year marked the 53rd time it is observed throughout the history of Singapore. During this particular holiday, there was the National Day Parade, fireworks display, and the Prime Minister addressed the people with a speech.

How the Transformation Begun

Several decades ago, Singapore was one of the poor places in Southeast Asia. It underwent many struggles and was such a miserable state. Today, however, it has successfully transformed itself into an innovative, diverse, and thriving city-state with a clear and determined vision for the future.

Singapore designed a model where there would be three outcomes: a sustainable environment, a first-rate life, and a lively economy that will provide for both the locals and the foreigners who want to work in the country.

The vision was to establish a place in a garden, which became the primary foundation for holistic planning. The city aspects were instituted at that point where the goals were to create a safe and secure environment that should also be equitable and accessible. Additionally, there should be adequate goods and services to the public.

Later on, these plans became a reality when the vision and the outcomes aligned. Despite the growing population, the green cover in the city increased, and both energy and resources were fulfilling for all the citizens. Once, the environment in this nation was degraded, but everything changed until there were healthy and clean ecosystems.

Smart Growth

The country also capitalized on its economic progress. There were thorough and careful studies that focused on moving from manual work to technological advancements. At first, the economy was all about port operations, but it shifted to labor-intensive manufacturing later on. More valuable industries were formed, and the city is now maintaining a knowledge economy.

Smart growth cannot work without creativity and innovation in both strategy development and technology. The country was able to come up with a plan to achieve its goals while improving its presence in the high-tech sector.

It also produced a mixed-use model that is comprehensive as it brings together residential and commercial zones. It was also applied to their terminals, buildings, and other infrastructure. With this mindset, several young planners have started to maximize the use of underground space. They are also looking into the potential of building sky cities.

These strategies have significant effects, including bringing about social integration. With such benefit, different types of flats and housing are mixed, along with nationalities and culture in a neighborhood. Community identities have become influential with this method.

The Keys to Smart Development

Integration of hard work is vital in making sure smart growth will work. It increases the efficiency of movement, actions, and services. For instance, plans for land use are developed together with the ideas about transportation in a specific area. With this methodology, the country has become more efficient in designing tactics because it leads to better and more active mobility.

Smart cities require data, which is why it is a highly-valued aspect toward growth. In developing countries, availability and access to data are perilous because they lack or even eliminate the essential element: planning.

Data can help not only the managers but also the citizens, which is why Singapore has online data that can be accessed by the public. It is an efficient way toward achieving the vision of the country.

Building a Smart Nation

For a few years now, Singapore is forging a path that will let it go beyond the rest of the world. Its development into a smart city may be far-fetched for some, but it is slowly working to achieve its vision. With smart homes making it into the mainstream, along with personal assistants, it should no longer be a wonder that these advancements can be a part of an entire city.

Singapore is building what may have been laughable several decades ago. However, Asian smart cities are rising, and Singapore is one of those that are ahead of the pack, thanks to its successful business landscape. The quality of the Internet, its urban planning accomplishments, the efforts the island nation has put in toward achieving clean energy are the reasons why it is thriving.

A Business-Friendly City

For numerous years, Singapore has been known all over the world for being one of the top cities in the world when it comes to e-commerce. It is a destination for those who are searching for jobs, especially lucrative ones. With the supportive trade environment, quality of life, cost of living, and salary rates, it is hard to beat this city for its benefits for both employers and employees.

Singapore as a smart city is not a new concept. In fact, it was in 2014 when it launched the Smart Nation program, which gathers information about every aspect of life on the island. The data would be useful for predictive data to help prevent disease outbreak or any disaster. Additionally, it could assist the citizens and the officials to come up with ways on a better quality of life, along with safety initiatives.
