China's Mega Cities - Engineering the World's Largest Urban Transformation: https://youtu.be/V5lxu9V9Dx4

Five million people live in a land area smaller than New York City. To make such a small and highly urbanized place liveable, Singapore embarked on a most ambitious project that took over five years to complete (from 2007 - 2012): Gardens by the Bay is a mega-structure unlike anything else on Earth. Three massive gardens, each the size of 177 football pitches, were designed to house thousands of plants from all over the planet. Two giant conservatories were constructed to protect millions of dollars' worth of trees, flowers, and plants, and manmade vertical gardens called Super-trees stretched as high as 50 meters into the sky. This was the country's most ambitious greening project to date, and no one had ever attempted such designs before.

Gardens by the Bay has become an awe-inspiring marvel where cutting-edge engineering met the green designs of tomorrow.
