The layers were really neat to see.

"Food Forest" SHOULD be a included in every zoning law globally.
Those projects need personnal long term investissement from the resident of the buildings, already several project of green residential building failed in the world because the residents were not invest in managing the plants. It take work, time and efforts or money to pay a gardener. Hope this project will last
I love this content and this type of action.🎉It's good for the mental health and biodiversity.A Genuine question,what if a tree branch falls?
Country doesn't have much land do better than Country have a lot of land.
Guess I'm having Singapore tonight
Singapore is really a beautiful country, insha'Allah one day I will visit Singapore 😊
Green Building ❤❤❤❤
We Love Nature 🎉🎉❤❤
Now watching. Your kedondong is what we call June Plum or Golden Apple in the Caribbean. I never knew you could eat the leaves!
Respect Nature ❤
Natural Biodiversity benefits <br>💛👍
This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen

Thanks Andrew, what a beautiful experience. I am very much inspired.
How do you erase your lightboard?
While my country, the U.S., destroys itself and anyone else it can take down, it is hopeful to see how other nations are working towards positive goals. Imagine the decrease in fossil fuel use alone if we could incorporate farms into our cities.
Way to Go ! - other cities Must learn from them....(many leaders across the globe running always for money) - Save Earth first
saying 'we cant grow food because it has to be maintained' while actively maintaining an entire urban forest that produces no food is crazy! 😅
Buildings like this can actually ironically be less green so much extra steal and concrete is needed for the extra weight that they can actually be worse for the environment it's just literal greenwashing
This is a dream!
Rooftop food forest sounds so appealing! And that hotel dripping with plants is just gorgeous! And Landscape Replacement Area is brilliant - here’s hoping that policy spreads, and becomes standard practice.
<3
Water?
Smart people i wish we in a aerial wou.d put these ideas to use.
It doesn't count when it's only available to the ultra-wealthy.
This is exactly how I was imagining cities turning green, sustainable and organic for some years. Beautiful to see it happening ❤
My biggest problem that the roots will find any crack that forms and start ripping it apart very slowly
The images of the forest-covered buildings literally made me cry with joy and hope. Thank you so much for this episode.❤
I notices there are no birds or butterflies. What up with that?
U.s.a if it stopped funding genocides in middle east.
I want to go there

Reminds me of Halo
Really smart, no pests on top of a scyscraper
Andrew, when you eat in a nice restaurant, with the chef, you take off the baseball cap. 🤦🏻♀️ So embarassing.
This is the future and the future is solar punk 🌿☀️🌿
Where are insects, rats and bird poop? To get that clean it must either be poisoned or cleaned very often.
Every time I watch something about Singapore, I’m reminded how much long-term planning shapes the way people experience a city.
Would be amazing for future cities
The future ❤
THANK U
Hi How can I contact you for collaboration proposal?
pretty happy to found your channel. We can see that the world can do better if people want, after all that shit which is going on
lets do this everywhere!!!!
Amazing
this is just amazing.
Is it a potential fire hazard? Fire may trace up a building along the plantation, a bit like what occurred in London with Glenfell tower fire, where the cladding caught fire and the fire spread across the building via the cladding which covered the surface, plants may act in the same way to spread fire?
Amazing food security and ornamental gardens design. It will be interesting to know how they manage the water to create such greenery production.
Boost!!!
Beautiful!💚 We need more concrete jungles!

Been doing vertical organic food farming for 10+ years. The concept of simple. We ONLY grow EDIBLES 😋
Singapore is nice but sometimes Singapore can be quite racist or nationalist like I used to live in Singapore and everyday they had to have a whole military parade with a giant Singapore flag with multiple helicopters, and I had a cousin who was very nice but then one day in school he was invested into Singapore propaganda and literally kept talking about Singapore and Singapore also has a spy blimp which literally spies on my country because they think we are undeveloped and not trustworthy and some Singaporeans can be so two faced like I’ve seen two faced Singaporeans and they are not nice 🫤
If rodents are ever a problem (with all those extra fruits), there is a product that is "known to sterilize them". See results within 2 months!<br>It is mostly made with/from oat seed. It's called "EVOLVE. It's rodent birth control." 😉<br><br>And if, mosquitoes are a problem (with any standing water), there is a product that is made of Bacillus Thuringensis (B.T.), that kills mosquito larvae. Works well to deplete local mosquito populations for a ( mostly) mosquito free summer! It's called MOSQUITO DUNKS..
Thank you for coming to Singapore and help to pick the brains of our people. Our food production is really really lacking and having u come in to change our perspective from ornamental to food, I think this is very much needed.
Question: Legislation. Who is allowed to harvest where? Who pays for the maintenance? Who benefits from the production? Who is responsible if something is not right? Who, in the end, is legally responsible for each garden? Does the harvest go to supermarkets or to individuals like the employees of the buildings? If it goes to supermarkets, who manages the harvesting, transportation and storage? If it is the employees, are they supposed to use the maintenance walkways? What to do with prevention of suicide attempts if those walkways and rooftops are accessible to so many people? Who manages security on these walkways and rooftops? Who guarantees food quality? What to do with car pollution that accumulates in the fruits and vegetables? What to do with overproduction? Who is responsible if an apple drops from the 51 story onto a parked car or person? How to prevent such accidents? The list goes on and on. The idea is amazing, but there is a lot of legal work to be done before it is possible.
Impressive when a country has political will to imagine possibilities and execute via implementation.
Yes! Let’s do this! No more hunger or food insecurity
YHWH
Meanwhile in America, all of our significant building's infrastructure are decayed, marred with graffiti or the insides are housing the homeless. Greatest country on earth... 😂
i love this idea i have a fear of hights and i think putting plants all over buildings can help people like me get over their fear
It's on the equator hot and wet all year round and seriously expensive to live there
How can you not like this nation?
Water apple aka wax apple, isn't sweet at all. More like a cucumber
so cool! i was just watching your Tucson video and thinking how cool it is and now you've come to my country
I love this philosophy of Singapore';s of an urban jungle. All building rooftops and balconies should be mandated to have greenery or even rented out to urban farmers.
This is just an experiment. Theres no big scale farming on rooftops in Singapore
Amazing!
imagine if all of the governments stop funding into wars
This is a joke. All the forested areas are being cleared for this type of buildings, within a year, half the plants die.
25 years ago I used to look over the skylines of San Francisco and Oakland and imagine this for California cities. So many rooftops and so many parks.
Singapore is another level 🎉❤
That lush green hotel is Park Royal at Upper Pickering Street. The first time I saw it in real life, I was crossing the street - I literally stopped in the middle of the road, my jaw dropping! What a gorgeous building!
In my opinion, from what is happening. Sg can be a garden city, but it comes with a high maintenance cost. It can easily come to millions of dollars yearly, the video mention billions, I may be wrong.<br>A garden city, in my opinion, has lesser benefit to the people than a fruits forest city.<br>Unfortunately, all plants in public land belong to the gov and are restricted to the people. <br>With fruits forest city, more community can be involved at a much lesser maintenance cost and great benefits to the people.<br>It it time for Sg to think out of the box and be creative in nation building.
Andrew! There is <b>NO WAY</b> a talented person won't be able to sell this idea to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, NYC, and Chicago! <br>Let's goooooooooo!
environmental contradiction exists on the plate.<br><br>"If you've seen what I've seen, you'd be just like me. I'm a prisoner of what I know. I'm a victim of what I've seen"<br>A quote that could be by Millison
