Just saw this in 2019. So proud of the work done behind the scenes here in my own backyard. These are many of the things done behind the scene that many people may not be aware of. Fellow Singaporean’s if you are watching this , share it with other Singaporeans. Very grateful to all these planning and technology that goes into making life better for us. Thank you TED for the platform that creates this awareness🙏🙏🙏
Do you still think this way? This system can easily be corrupted and your country turned into a tech-dictatorship. Eventually, you will have the wrong, corrupted people in the government, if you do not have them already.
Masterfully delivered talk. This lady has inspired me to be more informed on urban design. I did not expect so much careful thought and planning to go into the design of a precinct.
Really interesting use cases, what great outcomes for Singapore ! I just watched it in 2024. I work as a Data Scientist Engineer since 3 years now and smart cities inspire me a lot ever since ! I also deeply consider the new challenges that this system involves - cybersecurity, respect of confidentiality, but also environmental : how to best optimize the data centers' use, to keep saving energy, like the road lights Dr. Cheong Koon talked about.
Years ago I thought about the smart cities overall function should act like human body. I'm pretty glad that Dr. Cheong submitted the same concept as well.
I envy this technogical transition, how I wish this is replicated in Abuja in the nearest future,it will checkmate some negative occurrences and improve security watch.
The main goal is reduce stress level for the residents, law enforcers, and visitors as well as safety for everyone. One key is density of occupants at any moment must at a workable number like 1000/ 1km**2 at any moment in time. This number is the most ideal to guarantee safety, stress level and all activities at its optimal including communication cell phone internet and sewage level and water and air
I'm waiting for the time when all those will be ready, so developed countries will look around for the smaller ones to help them grow. There's this Korean program in Bulgaria. It's such a big opportunity for us. But I'm clueless on how to prepare a smart city project.
I was planning to built a smart village in my own village and this presentation gives me more depth understanding how a smart village has to be built.. Thanks for the video
Expanded surveillance is inevitable with these new "smart cities". Bad for us and a dream for the people in power, its part of the "sustainable development program" (agenda21).
In my country...I guess ..we build this kind of cities and very successful...outstanding .. lot of Economy very busy.. lot of fun .. “pattaya and Bangkok “
i would make the commercial and apartments as high as i can while suppling enough power from solar panels covering most of the space above. the buildings could have modular walls and floors to fit the business size accordingly, maybe made of air krete. the apartments could be on the top floors, commercial on the bottom 2 floors. half of the buildings and companies would be city owned and half private so you have atleast one of each option for most goods and services. enough dirt for grass, plants and some trees on the roof to keep the temperature comfortable, maybe geothermal heating and cooling. the roofs would be connected by a large platform/ bridge connecting the corners, underneath could be large multi floor businesses. on the roofs there could be service roads, large bike paths, sport fields and stadiums, parks, cell and radio towers, satelite dishes, metered parking for vehicles and rv's and food trucks and vending machine, ect. industrial could be along the edge around the commercial and apt center some under the dirt, grass and solar panels. then residential on the next layer outside. then outside that would be open farms. houses with roofs built and used to use solar panels and wind turbines would be subsidized. the first half of residential layers would be divided into small lots for small houses or rv's. you could get a house near your office or side of commercial. you would be allowed to have a mobile permanent address. small wind turbines could be all across the roof too.
monitoring system is two sided coin, if the authority use it wisely it is a blessed; otherwise it is nightmare to citizen. I wish Dr Cheong vision will cruise to the bright side. cheers from 2021 netizen
I wish we can have this technology in my country, Malaysia. My country is just next to Singapore and we are way backwards compared to SIngapore, in such terms.
Grazie mille , in effetti ogni città , per una questione di complessità tende al dubbio e , conseguentemente , come per la città di Singapore e NEOM tende ad una flessibilità e super adattamento .
I am ok with the heat ...because I came from tropical country as same as Singapore .. the Panama Canal weather..I could handle that level of temperature.. no complain .. because I sell a lot of drink .. alcohol to people.. it is so true about this business .. trump up .. with the weather and the alcoholic beverage ..
Really appreciate all the advance planning that have been done to develop a great country, some thoughts I have here, do you have something in the smart system to simulate how sound travel and with a way to reduce the noise pollution? I found that the noise echoing is extremely severe in the area I live, a person who talking with normal tone downstair at the park can be pickup easily by the person who live at 10th floor. Would strongly recommend to improve the sound proofing on our buildings. And since we have already started to have solar panel in many of our HDB roof, will there be any chance we will see our electrical bill being reduce?
Ah Heng said to want to attract more "foreign talents" example from India with Indian University degree against the graduates with local degree from from Singapore so that more people can live underground which may subject of flood and fire. It is cheaper to employ foreign degree holder than local degree graduates. Most unemployed degree holder will have to make shift for temporary jobs like driving Grab cars or taxi or working in banks as temporary clerks.
How costly are data capturing through the sensors that she mentions? Would it be viable for developing nations like India which is having an increasingly growing yet adverse living conditions in Urban areas?
Anjan Babu i think for india, our core and more central problems such as poverty, education, sanitation and corruption will be worked on much more before even reach this stage. Thus, it will be viable much later on. Not right now. However smart cities are being built but i really don't think this sort of efficiency will be achieved soon.
Singapore didn’t start off being a smart city. We started off poor and worked for 20-30 years in our city before we had anything considered smart. But we did the right things for our foundation, moving people from slums to safe public housing, giving people portable water straight from tap, building good roads and walkways, creating a town that is efficient where your basic amenities like groceries, eateries, Malls, libraries, schools, Parks and transport are within 15 mins walk/bus ride from your residence. We also grow trees to beautify the environment and build our water ways such that water can be captured and recycled without waste. A strong foundation in city planning is important to Ensure an effective and efficient environment, future environmental sustainability and continuity. Then these smart technologies works to enhance the people’s lives.

this kind of smart city idea, where every where is full of sensors, i am afraid will human-bonding get weaker and weaker because there are technology to providing our needs community? for example to turn-off the light with technology you need to produce the sensors the systems and that needs more energy!! but the smartest and most environmentalist way is to teach the community to be environmental-consious and teach them to turn of the light when they are not using. and paralel to this; the upper administrative level peoples know every thing about the lower level community. so that can cause overcontrol from up. we need technology to collect datas to function well yes but; we need social bonding and strong support & trust environment among the community even more!
What Singapore has done is to grow plants and trees wherever it’s possible. In between roads and buildings, even on top of them and their sides. There are park links all around which is essentially pathways with plants, trees, flowers and small exercise spots connecting larger parks or reservoirs and even the beach. It’s currently a balance of trees and buildings. So if thats what you’re asking, then yes it is possible
Too many sensors and monitor devices working 24x7 surrounding humans closely may not be very good to health, due to potential risk of electromagnetic radiation, ionizing radiation and even noise radiation. And they themselves and all the data facilities are using energy too.
I am tired of people like this “ I collect datas, I input into computer, I build model....” give me a break an for once give credit to people that actually do the labor work .

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Choose to live in a normal city, use cash, and don’t bring your phone everywhere, learn a little privacy software. Humanity 10 years from now will thank your collective decisions " YES!
I feel for many things showcased here the approach is wrong. Take the example of the elderly Mum being monitored, because she once has had a fall and her daughter cannot watch her over the day, because she has to go to work. The soultion should be a technical one? Why not offer a home care service (public health service), or find a work-from-home solution for the daughter (if applicable), or even change working patterns completely? Do we still need to go to the office 9-5? Can't we find other, 'disconnected' solutions for the time we need to be at the workplace? Or do we all even need to be at a workplace, can't our job be attended from home?

this kind of smart city idea, where every where is full of sensors, i am afraid will human-bonding get weaker and weaker because there are technology to providing our needs community? for example to turn-off the light with technology you need to produce the sensors the systems and that needs more energy!! but the smartest and most environmentalist way is to teach the community to be environmental-consious and teach them to turn of the light when they are not using.
and paralel to this; the upper administrative level peoples know every thing about the lower level community. so that can cause overcontrol from up. we need technology to collect datas to function well yes but; we need social bonding and strong support & trust environment among the community even more!
