I could see Singapore building an air conditioned dome over the whole city. Besides the nonfree press, etc, the relentless heat and humidity is the biggest negative of the city.

When I visited I tried to walk ONE subway stop outside in DECEMBER. I almost fainted halfway through and had to sit down and drink water. Almost ended up calling an Uber.

By the time they build it, it won't just be for aircon, but also to purify the air coming in from outside. It'll also be nice to do without the rain. Singapore with a dome is probably what the first moon bases will look like.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's funny: over in the comments about a healthcare article they say that Singapore has it easier because it's smaller. And here we admire them for pulling things off despite being small.
I didnt read those comments, but large capital projects one would think is harder, since they collect less overall revenue. For example its hard to imagine singapore sending a person to mars, over say China or US other things, especially people related, are much easier. its very close together, very homogeneous, etc.
That is cool. Would be great to have a "Common Service Tunnel" in all cities. Its insane how much roadway gets dug up each year. Of course I doubt they'd all be as clean as the one in the Singapore photo.
Is it not a problem that Singapore is right on the ocean? Does anyone know if there risk of flooding or anything?
