An environmental report acknowledges that \u201cIn reality, Singapore is in a perpetual state of crisis; as increased rainfall from global warming continues to raise the sea level each year, the small country comprised of numerous shrinking islands often lacks sufficient land to support its growing population and economy. While some engineers proposed constructing infrastructure in the sky and on floating platforms in the Indian Ocean, Singapore\u2019s government instead employs another capital-intensive land formation strategy: land reclamation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We face a similar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipcc.ch\/srocc\/chapter\/chapter-4-sea-level-rise-and-implications-for-low-lying-islands-coasts-and-communities\/\">challenge from rising water levels<\/a>. Eventually, dikes and other flood-control measures <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/rising-sea-levels-is-land-reclamation-still-viable\/a-65401436\">will have to be considered<\/a>. The question is whether we will strictly preserve what exists, or create more while preserving what\u2019s already here. This is <a href=\"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/stories\/83d97f8f26f047a8844516939c4aa445\">a strategy<\/a> being adopted by New York, Miami, Rio de Janeiro, and Mumbai, all of which are in various stages of considering reclamation \u201dto protect themselves against rising tides and prevent themselves from vanishing altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, here at home, there is the perpetual call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.philstar.com\/opinion\/2012\/08\/17\/839096\/build-new-cities-and-depopulate-metro-manila\">to depopulate<\/a> Metro Manila when other cities are planning for the continuing, and not decreasing, influx of future residents. From 30 percent living in urban areas back in 1950, today, about 55 percent of the global population already lives in urban areas, with the percentage expected to reach 68 percent by 2050. Singapore, for its part, foresees that by 2100, \u201cSingapore\u2019s temperature is projected to rise by 1.4 degrees Celsius to 4.6 degrees Celsius and sea levels could rise by up to 1 meter. The intensity and frequency of heavy rainfall events are also likely to increase while conversely, dry seasons could become even drier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For them, it means flood walls, catchments, flood gates, and pumping stations\u2014for others, <a href=\"http:\/\/nationalatlas.ngii.go.kr\/pages\/page_1309.php\">like the Koreans<\/a>, it means reclaiming land for farming. What these places are doing is to proactively plan for the future, instead of wishing problems away or steadfastly preserving the status quo\u2014which is not particularly inspiring, relevant, or healthful as it is\u2014to the exclusion of creating new opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>All this requires planning way, way, ahead. This is in contrast to our inability to pursue plans within a horizon of three to six years, never mind a decade or generation hence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"white-space:nowrap\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/tarpipe.com\/js\/widget.js\">{title:\"The Long View: Singapore surprise\",url:\"https:\/\/www.quezon.ph\/2023\/09\/27\/the-long-view-singapore-surprise\/\"}<\/script><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet THE LONG VIEW Singapore surprise By:\u00a0Manuel L.
