Paving Paradise
Paving Paradise reflects the constant upkeep of Singapore’s ever-changing urban landscape. The restructuring of our city reflects the restructuring of our policies to mitigate the threats of urbanisation, highlighting our dream to transform Singapore into a City in Nature.
Our desire to develop harmoniously with the flora and fauna takes shape through our city features such as roads, pathways and bridges which cater for people and animals alike, connecting green spaces within our urban environment.
