The population density issue is very important. Housing is 99% apartments in Singapore, but LA is sprawling single family homes.
人口密度问题非常重要。新加坡99%的住房是公寓，而洛杉矶则是分散的独栋住宅。
As a singaporean i personally enjoy the train system (MRT) in singapore. Its pretty quick and can take you almost everywhere you want to go. Its also pretty efficient and the train frequency is also not too bad :)
作为新加坡人，我个人非常喜欢新加坡的地铁系统（MRT）。它非常快捷，几乎可以带你去任何你想去的地方。它的效率也很高，列车频率也不错。
I was born in a third world country and I remember how crowded the train was, how loud everything was and being super hot all the time. When my family came to Singapore when I was 9, I remember being amazed by how comfortable both the mrt and the bus were. The fact that both keep on improving is something I appreciate since we’ve never owned a car.
我出生在一个第三世界国家，我记得那里的火车非常拥挤，环境嘈杂，而且总是非常炎热。当我9岁时，我的家人来到新加坡，我记得当时对地铁和公交的舒适感到非常惊讶。它们不断改进的事实让我非常感激，因为我们从未拥有过汽车。
As a Singaporean, I used to hate Singapore because I didn't do well in school and was very stressed out due to the intense competition. As I grew older and learned about economics and politics etc., I realised that Singapore is rly one of the best places (when you take everything like safety etc. into consideration) to live in the world. Super grateful rn :)
作为新加坡人，我曾经讨厌新加坡，因为我在学校表现不好，激烈的竞争让我压力很大。随着年龄的增长，我学习了经济学和政治学等知识后，我意识到新加坡确实是世界上最好的居住地之一（当你考虑到安全等因素时）。现在我非常感激。
Fun fact, every tree in Singapore has a “name” or tag, it is usually for the government agency to keep track of trees and their health. Nparks is the agency that usually carries out all the greens in Singapore, checking and keeping the greenery’s scattered around the land safe and protected.
For building projects, every tree they cut is billed, every tree they move is also billed. Cutting a tree is more expensive than changing a tree location.
Cutting a tree can cost about 5-7k depending on its size! So builders who choose to cut instead of moving the tree will pay a hefty price!
有趣的事实是新加坡的每棵树都有一个“名字”或标签，通常用于政府机构跟踪树木及其健康状况。Nparks是负责新加坡所有绿化的机构，负责检查和保护散布在各地的绿化。
在建筑项目中，每砍伐一棵树都会被收费，每移动一棵树也会被收费。砍伐树木比移动树木更昂贵。
砍伐一棵树的费用可能高达5-7千新元，具体取决于树木的大小！因此，选择砍伐而不是移动树木的建筑商将付出高昂的代价！
Malaysian here and I can only say bravo Singapore, I'm happy for you guys but also envious at the same time. Happy for the fact that you guys are one of the best cities in the world even after all the shit we put you through, and envious because you guys actually have a functioning government that cares for the people without being corrupted and crazy over power!
After our recent General Election, I can only foresee that Malaysia will go further into the trenches while SIngapore keeps advancing further and further away from us... If only we had a government like you guys do, things would definitely be so much different. Whatever it may be, keep going Singapore, Majulah Singapura!
我是马来西亚人，我只能说新加坡太棒了，我为你们感到高兴，同时也感到羡慕。高兴的是即使经历了我们给你们带来的种种困难，你们仍然是世界上最好的城市之一；羡慕的是你们有一个真正关心人民、不腐败、不迷恋权力的有效政府！
在我们最近的全国大选之后，我只能预见到马来西亚会进一步陷入困境，而新加坡会继续前进，离我们越来越远……如果我们有一个像你们这样的政府，事情肯定会大不相同。无论如何，继续前进吧，新加坡，前进吧，新加坡！
Everyone talks about trains but I also want to give a huge shoutout to improvements in our bus system - did you know that every single bus stop in Singapore comes with a upxed board that tells you 1) the bus numbers that arrive at this stop 2) the FULL list of stops that EACH bus number goes to?
As a local, this is something really amazing to me; when I use google maps and they tell me where to get off, I just go to the bus stop board and check if I'm headed the right direction. I've travelled to other major cities in Asia and I really feel our bus system, down to our bus stop experiences, are so thoughtfully planned! I've not seen another city where the bus stops are so informative and clean!
Every bus stop has a city bin that's been emptied often by city cleaners.
大家都在谈论地铁，但我也想大力赞扬我们公交系统的改进——你知道吗？新加坡的每个公交站都有一个更新的公告板，告诉你1）到达该站的公交线路2）每条公交线路的完整站点列表。
作为本地人，这对我来说非常神奇；当我使用谷歌地图时，它会告诉我在哪里下车，我只需去公交站公告板检查我是否走对了方向。我去过亚洲其他的主要城市，我确实觉得我们的公交系统，甚至公交站的体验，都经过了深思熟虑的规划！我从未见过另一个城市的公交站如此信息丰富且干净！
每个公交站都有一个城市垃圾桶，由城市清洁工经常清理。

Metros in Asia are just way more efficient than US. Not just Singapore, just go to Taipei, HK, Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Beijing etc. the dense populations of the urban areas makes metro systems a priority for the government.
亚洲的地铁系统比美国高效得多。不仅仅是新加坡，台北、香港（特区）、上海、首尔、东京、大阪、北京等地也是如此。城市地区的高密度人口使得地铁系统成为政府的优先事项。
Love Singapore. I've been there 4 times, always have a good visit. Like here in Japan, public transportation actually WORKS! They also have tremendously large underground shopping areas (again like Japan) which can double as public shelters in bad weather or other dangerous conditions. The city where I live, Kobe, Japan, is also undertaking new projects to 'green' it and improve our city with more parks, walking-only streets leading through downtown areas, etc. for natural comfort and long-term livability. The designers may have based their ideas on Singapore's changes over the years...
我爱新加坡。我去过那里四次，每次都有很好的体验。就像在日本一样，公共交通真的非常有效！他们还有非常大的地下购物区（再次像日本一样），这些购物区可以在恶劣天气或其他危险情况下作为公共避难所。我居住的城市日本神户也在进行新的项目，通过增加公园、步行街等来“绿化”城市，改善我们的城市，以实现自然舒适和长期宜居性。设计师们可能是基于新加坡多年来的变化来构思这些想法的。
As an american currently living in singapore for studying the metro surprised me. I don't take a taxis and I rarely take the buses. The metro is always my go to! Makes me want to stay here after my study and live here for the rest of my life!
作为一名目前在新加坡学习的美国人，这里的地铁让我感到惊讶。我不打车，也很少坐公交车，地铁一直是我的首选！这让我想在学习结束后留在这里，并在这里度过余生！
People can complain and say that the government is authoritarian and it is very expensive to live in Singapore. But no country is perfect, and as a Singaporean, you can live quite happily even if you're not wealthy. The stable government with one ruling party for over 50 years, with the ultimate goal of success, proved that governments around the world needed to work towards a single goal, and not just opposing one another just for the sake of it. Other parties challenge them so that they can be kept on their toes. Other than that, some rules such as the COE and high cost of living are just sacrifices we as Singaporeans accept, in exchange for efficient traffic flow, higher standards of living, higher minimum wages, etc. We love to complain about our life here, but honestly, its just because we have nothing else to complain about.
人们可以抱怨说新加坡的政府是专制的，而且在新加坡生活非常昂贵。但没有哪个国家是完美的，作为新加坡人，即使你不富有，你也可以生活得相当幸福。一个执政党执政超过50年的稳定政府，以成功为最终目标，证明了世界各地的政府需要朝着一个目标努力，而不是为了反对而反对。其他政党挑战他们以使他们保持警惕。除此之外，一些规则如拥车证和高生活成本只是我们新加坡人以换取高效的交通流量、更高的生活水平、更高的最低工资等需要付出的牺牲。虽然我们喜欢抱怨这里的生活，但说实话，这只是因为我们没有其他可抱怨的。
Singaporean here. What the govt did and has always been doing for a long time, is going to different cities to learn and these ideas feed into a Singapore-centric matrix where certain ideas are implemented. So basically we learn the good and the bad and we took what was beneficial and urban planning is huge here.
我是新加坡人。政府长期以来一直在做的是去不同的城市学习，这些想法被纳入以新加坡为中心的矩阵中，某些想法得以实施。所以基本上我们会学习好的和坏的并采纳有益的部分，城市规划在这里非常重要。
The value of those covered walkways throughout the city can’t be underestimated. They’re similar to those in Hong Kong which are a modern marvel.
Instead of finding your way by-foot on sidewalks, the walkways are like mini-highways that connect all major areas of the city & seemlessly blend into & through buildings, parks, malls, metro & ship stations, and the air-conditioned subterranean shopping & transport systems.
遍布城市的带顶人行道的价值不可低估，它们类似于香港（特区）的那些，是现代奇迹。
与其在人行道上步行找路，这些人行道就像连接城市所有主要区域的迷你高速公路，无缝融入并穿过建筑物、公园、商场、地铁站和码头以及带有空调的地下购物和交通系统。
Just a fun fact that I love to share, NEWater or treated waste water is so much purer compared to tap water that it is used mostly in industries where high purity clean water is required such as in chip and wafer manufacturing.
一个我喜欢分享的有趣事实是NEWater或处理过的废水比自来水纯净得多，主要用于需要高纯度清洁水的行业，如芯片和晶圆制造。
Seeing a lot more Singapore content recently, and while I definitely have been searching/looking into content related to the city, it feels like people are appreciating the city more. Not sure if Singaporeophile is a word but I’d describe myself as one, very impressed by the city.
我最近看到过更多关于新加坡的内容，虽然我确实一直在搜索/查看与这座城市相关的内容，但感觉人们越来越欣赏这座城市。我不确定“新加坡爱好者”是否是一个词，但我会用这个词来形容自己，我对这座城市印象深刻。
Simple, the US hasn't cared nor does care about public transportation. It's all about cars, cars, cars. Metro sucks, trains suck, buses suck. It's the difference between designing a city with a focus on public transportation Vs doing it with a focus on oil profits.
很简单，美国从未关心过公共交通，一切都与汽车、汽车、汽车有关。地铁很糟糕，火车很糟糕，公交车很糟糕，这是以公共交通为重点设计的城市与以石油利润为重点设计的城市之间的区别。
I just came back from a 2 week stay in Singapore. This video is absolutely correct. I saw maybe one or two petrol/gas stations, and there are a lot of covered walkways. You only see expensive cars (Porsche, Benz, Lamborghini, etc) or taxi cabs on the road. I was told it was because of the car taxes, prices, 10 year registration, etc.
Everyone lives in public housing, but they are really nice and have gardens on some levels, trees and flowers growing on the buildings. I was told the President's Wife spearheaded the effort to plant flowers on every building. It is a really, really, clean, beautiful city.
Also, the Marquee Singapore Nightclub was the best club I've ever been in. It had a 4 story video wall behind the DJ, a Ferris wheel on the 3rd floor with a slide down to the bathrooms. It was amazing!
我刚从新加坡停留两周回来，这个视频绝对正确。我只看到了一两个加油站，而且有很多带顶的人行道。在路上你只能看到昂贵的汽车（保时捷、奔驰、兰博基尼等）或出租车，我被告知这是因为汽车税、价格、10年注册期等原因。
每个人都住在公共住房里，但它们非常漂亮，有些楼层有花园，建筑物上种满了树木和鲜花。我被告知总统夫人带头在每栋建筑物上种花。这是一个非常非常干净、美丽的城市。
此外，Marquee新加坡夜总会是我去过的最好的夜总会。DJ后面有一个四层楼的视频墙，三楼有一个摩天轮，滑梯通向洗手间。太棒了！
A lot of Singapore's wonderful modern efficient systems are taken for granted by Singaporeans. There's a lot of things I love and hate about my country of Singapore but I count my blessings everyday I was very fortunate to be born and raised here. We're a very tiny dot in the world but I honestly wouldn't to really live anywhere else.
许多新加坡人将新加坡美妙的现代高效系统视为理所当然。关于我的国家新加坡，虽然我对有很多事情又爱又恨，但我每天都感激自己非常幸运地能在这里出生和成长。我们是世界上一个非常小的点，但老实说，我真的不想生活在其他地方。
I believe safety is also the main factor in the differences in ridership. Every metro system that I visited in Asia is clean, safe (day or night), and uses by all classes of people. I can't say the same for America for obvious reasons.
我相信安全也是乘客量差异的主要因素。我在亚洲访问过的每个地铁系统都很干净、安全（白天或晚上），并且被所有阶层的人使用。由于显而易见的原因，我不能说美国也是如此。
It's quite simple - Singapore, like the Netherlands, has an integrated transport, infrastructure and land use network with a political system that's relatively stable and all the land owned by the state. America and Britain, in contrast, have a fragmented infrastructure network, awful planning and a political system that favours individuals over the collective thus, everything is more difficult to deal with, ultimately raising costs and delays. It's not rocket science why Singapore and the Netherlands work in favour of its people, not the privileged few.
很简单——新加坡和荷兰一样，拥有一个综合的交通、基础设施和土地利用网络，政治制度相对稳定，所有土地都归国家所有。相比之下，美国和英国的基础设施网络分散，规划糟糕，政治制度偏向个人而非集体，因此一切都更难处理，最终增加了成本和延误。新加坡和荷兰为人民而不是少数特权阶层服务，这并不是什么高深的科学。
I live in Singapore and there's an MRT station 10 mins away by foot from my house, the way there is almost completely sheltered. I find it pretty convenient already, but then they're in the midst of building another MRT station just 5 mins away by foot. It'll be even easier to get to the other side of Singapore in the future.
我生活在新加坡，离我家步行10分钟就有一个地铁站，去那里的路几乎完全有遮蔽。我已经觉得非常方便了，但他们正在建造另一个地铁站，离我家步行只需5分钟。未来去新加坡的另一边将更加容易。
Having grown up in Singapore and used public transport and it’s amazing road infrastructure, has set a gold standard for me …. Moving out of the country to Pune my birthplace with currently inhumane levels of road traffic and pollution has triggered a condition called ‘Road traffic anxiety’ in me it’s Real, I really feel bad for myself and the people of this city, whose ancestors didn’t have a vision for how shit things could get, if they didn’t regulate private vehicles and invest in public transport. Pune had great environment, weather, natural resources but sadly no Vision, and it set on a self destructive path. In the same time SG with little means but visionary leaders, built truly one of the best cities in the world, I love both the cities , but I can see a future in one and abyss in the other
在新加坡长大并使用公共交通及其惊人的道路基础设施为我树立了黄金标准……搬到我的出生地浦那，我发现那里目前的道路交通和污染水平令人难以忍受，这引发了我所谓的“道路交通焦虑”，这是真实的，我真的为自己和这个城市的人们感到难过，他们的祖先没有预见到如果不规范私家车并投资公共交通，情况会变得多么糟糕。浦那有很好的环境、天气和自然资源，但遗憾的是没有远见，它走上了自我毁灭的道路。与此同时，新加坡虽然资源有限，但拥有有远见的领导人，他们把新加坡建成了世界上最好的城市之一。我爱这两个城市，但我能看到一个城市的未来，而另一个城市则陷入了深渊。
I lived there for a number of years in the 80's and was always impressed at their logical, analytic planning. They learned from the mistakes of other countries! Bravo! It may have been expensive, but I loved it. I miss it and praise it to my friends all the time.
我在上世纪80年代在那里生活过几年，一直对他们逻辑严密、分析周密的规划印象深刻。他们从其他国家的错误中学习！太棒了！虽然可能很昂贵，但我很喜欢。我怀念它并经常向朋友们赞美它。

recently i tried walking home from my current school all the way back home to realise it takes around 50 mins. but while using public transport its shortened to around 15 to 20 mins. im really grateful that there is public transport almost everywhere in singapore because it really makes our travelling so much easier.
最近我试着从学校步行回家，发现需要大约50分钟，但使用公共交通时，时间缩短到大约15到20分钟。我真的很感激新加坡几乎到处都有公共交通，因为它确实让我们的旅行变得更加容易。
My goodness, this is one of the most accurate, comprehensive yet concise info videos of Singapore. Superbly done!! Perhaps just to add: S'pore was humble enuf to acknowledge that they did not have the expertise to urban plan, so they sought UN's help to better understand land use and then transportation options resulting in a first Sg Concept Plan in 1971, Sg similarly sought advice on economic matters too. One thing it decided on its own is to be the most open and least corrupt place to do business (in regards to the other less attractive places in SE-Asia at the time.
天哪，这是关于新加坡最准确、全面而又简洁的信息视频之一。做得太棒了！也许可以补充一点：新加坡非常谦虚地承认他们没有城市规划的专业知识，因此他们寻求联合国的帮助以更好地了解土地利用和交通选择，从而在1971年制定了第一个新加坡概念规划，新加坡同样在经济事务上也寻求了建议。它自己决定的一件事是成为最开放、最不腐败的商业场所（相对于当时东南亚其他不太有吸引力的地方）。
Thank you for featuring Singapore, it is amazing to see my home country being showcased. The government has really stepped up on improving green spaces in Singapore in recent years, alot of colourful plants are now planted along streets to beautify the area and encourage walking. It is not perfect living here and stress levels are very high as a student but you can tell that the government is trying their best. As a citizen, I can really appreciate living here
感谢你们展示新加坡，看到我的祖国被展示真是太棒了。近年来，政府确实加大了改善新加坡绿地的力度，现在街道两旁种植了许多色彩缤纷的植物以美化该地区并鼓励步行。虽然在这里生活并不完美，作为学生压力很大，但你可以看出政府正在尽力。作为公民，生活在这里我真的很感激。
I really love how Singapore government implemented certain rules to keep the country advantageous to its population. For example, the easy public transportation that makeup for the expensive cost of buying cars. Also fine for littering to keep city clean. A lot of it effected Singapore environment in a huge size which not found in a lot of cities with the same population.
我真的很喜欢新加坡政府实施某些规则以保持国家对其人民的优势。例如，便捷的公共交通弥补了购买汽车的高昂成本，还有对乱扔垃圾的罚款以保持城市清洁。其中很多对新加坡环境产生了巨大影响，这在许多人口相同的城市中是找不到的。
The last part of the video shows a big con of democracy. Having opposing parties and quick turnover like the US just means that most proposals are just outright denied or cancelled once the next party takes over. This also leads politicians to just pander to voters without actually keeping promises just because they only want votes. How can you run a country well when every plan you make is opposed and you only have less than 4 or 8 years to do it.
视频的最后一部分展示了民主的一个大缺点，像美国这样有反对党和快速更替的政权意味着大多数提案一旦下一党上台就会被直接拒绝或取消，这也导致政客们只是为了选票而迎合选民而不真正兑现承诺。当你制定的每个计划都遭到反对，而你只有不到4年或8年的时间去实施时，你怎么能治理好一个国家呢？
Tx for an awesome video. Sustainable development rests on 3 pillars - enviro integrity, economic prosperity & social justice. Singapore ticks most boxes. One challenge not covered in your video was the eradication of corruption in all aspects of urban governance.
Other great cities that has made sustainable urban planning, development & management a priority include Curitiba, Medellin, Bogota & Tirana. There are great cities in Scandanavia, but being wealthy developed countries, there are fewer challenges & solutions are less holistic & complete - usually focused around urban mobility & inclusive street design.
感谢这个精彩的视频。可持续发展依赖于三大支柱——环境完整性、经济繁荣和社会正义，新加坡在大多数方面都做得很好。你的视频中未涵盖的一个挑战是在城市治理的各个方面根除腐败。
其他将可持续的城市规划、发展和管理作为优先事项的伟大城市包括库里提巴、麦德林、波哥大和地拉那。斯堪的纳维亚也有一些伟大的城市，但由于是富裕的发达国家，挑战较少，解决方案也不那么全面——通常集中在城市交通和包容性街道设计上。
I've ridden LA's metro system, but it's... not great. It's always dirty, smells bad, and is full of panhandlers and homeless people. Sexual harassment and theft are rampant. Most of the stations are purposefully designed to be "honor system" so nobody bothers to pay fares. I don't begrudge the people just looking for a sheltered place to sleep, but the trains and stations are crawling with people who are out to harass and bother others. The system would enjoy more ridership if it was known to be cleaner and less dangerous.
我坐过洛杉矶的地铁系统，但它……并不好，它总是很脏，气味难闻，到处都是乞丐和无家可归的人，性骚扰和盗窃猖獗，大多数车站故意设计为“荣誉系统”，所以没有人费心支付车费。我不怨恨那些只是寻找庇护所睡觉的人，但火车和车站里到处都是骚扰和打扰他人的人。如果它更干净、更安全，这个系统会吸引更多的乘客。
