ABSTRACT
Singapore is a very small country of 680 sq km to day (and still growing) and has a population of 3 million citizens and 1 million permanent residents and foreign citizens (and still growing also). But since its independence in 1965, this small city-state has progressed in all fields. Undoubtedly, this has arisen mainly from the phenomenal economic growth she has witnessed. However, the economic well-being derived from these advancements will translate into greater demands for all kind of re sources. People expect better living standard and quality of living such as freer traffic, less pollution, more natural parks and recreation facilities; the list goes on. Thus, a critical future task is to develop sustainable infrastructures that can support economic growth and improves on quality of life. Without this linkage, economic growth on its own is unsustain able and will not benefit the people.
