3 ways to stretch land options: Lawrence Wong

Singapore

LAND-SCARCE Singapore has three ways to stretch its land options: going upward, downward and seaward. National Development Minister Lawrence Wong detailed these different ways in a blog post on Wednesday.

"Land is a critical factor in any country's development, more so for a little red dot like Singapore," he wrote. "But through human ingenuity, we can come up with innovative ways to stretch our land options... That's how we can overcome our natural constraints, and continue to succeed over the long-term," he added.
